Buying a home in Austin is a great way to invest and keep expenses down, since the cost of renting is rising quickly here, putting an increasing burden upon a tenant. Unless you can afford to pay for a home in cash, a home loan is a necessity to owning real estate. A mortgage lender can tailor options for repayment to meet a borrower's needs and goals.
A cash-out refinance lets you tap into your home's equity for cash you can use for any purpose you choose. Unlike a home equity loan or line of credit, which results in a second mortgage on your home, the cash-out refinance replaces your current first mortgage. The new loan amount equals the balance of the original loan plus the additional amount you draw against your equity.
Many people mistakenly believe that getting a loan for a condo can be a difficult task. In reality, in recent years, more lenders have been offering these loans, so more borrowers are eligible to receive condo loans. The standards are still stringent; however, getting a condominium loan can be done if you work with knowledgeable Austin lender, Joel Richardson.

Please feel free to use this resource as you begin to research your customer construction mortgage needs. If you've owned the lot for more than one year, we can use the equity that you have earned.

Very professional and timely. Everything was taken care of for us. I had never been through this process and Joel made it easy understandable for my wife and I.

Joel and his team were very professional and on top of every step of the process, from application to post-closing. They kept me informed and provided quick responses and even information about items I had not put on my to-do list. I highly recommend PrimeLending and it is obvious to me why they are a leader in the industry. I never felt like one file in their stack of pending files. It was a personal connection throughout and perfectly synchronized.

You are in excellent hands with Joel’s team at Prime Lending!

Recent Refinance with Joel Richardson:
We were looking to refinance our 7 year ARM and had spent quite a bit of time speaking with our existing lender as well as other lenders. We weren't sure who to believe as each one gave us a different "spin" on what we should do and what could/could not be accomplished (like rolling our existing HELOC into a new loan). We were give Joel's contact information from a trusted friend in the Austin Real Estate market and we are so glad we did as we received straight answers and were presented various options that met our needs. Most importantly Joel and team were
