I want to refi with a conventional loan from a land contract.

I am not aware of ANY traditional loan that will let you take cash out when paying off a contract for deed. Have no clue why that is a rule... but it is. You can probably find a higher interest non-conforming loan that may allow that. For contract for deed refinancing in MN, WI, and SD, visit me at www.JoeMetzler.com

You really want to speak to a local lender to find out your options. You may not be able to borrow as much as you state in your inquiry. Speak to friends a family to find a local loan officer that knows your market and can help you maximize the amount of money that you can borrow. Good Luck ... :)

Much more info is needed to address your question. As others have said,, you cannot do a cash out on a home with a "Land contract".. you can do a "Rate and Term" refinance.. so if you owed $180K, and the appraised value is now $210K.. then FHA or conventional will work.. but if you are looking to do a cash out, then you will need to either pay off the loan by using your cash funds or by refinancing.. then after 6 months, you can do a cash out refinance.. but even for this loan, assuming it's your primary residence, you are restricted to 80% LTV with conventional if you don't want to pay a monthly mortgage insurance premium. Otherwise, you can go FHA,,, they will allow up to 85% LTV on a cash out refi.. but you will have MI.. If you have VA benefits available to you, then VA allows for 100% cash out refinance,,, Again, lots of scenarios, but which one will work for you is anyone's guess,,, I suggest you pick up the phone and contact a mortgage pro and let them look at your complete loan profile,, it's takes 5 minutes, and no more guessing..
