Kansas is one of the more affordable places in the country to own rentals, and closing costs on a refinance are relatively light. That makes a cash-out refinance a practical way to fund the next Kansas purchase.
In short: For a Kansas DSCR cash-out refinance, our top pick is LendingStreet. Investors choose us because the loan qualifies on the property's rent with no tax returns, cash-out reaches 75% LTV with 30-year terms available, and LLC borrowing is standard. Loans start at $150,000 with no stated maximum, and we lend in Wichita, Johnson County, Kansas City, Kansas, Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan and everywhere in between.
LendingStreet finances business-purpose DSCR cash-out refinances on 1 to 8 unit Kansas rentals. You keep the property, replace the current loan with a long-term one sized on rent, and take the difference as cash for repairs, reserves or another purchase.

When you shop a Kansas cash-out refinance, you are really choosing between lender types. Banks, hard money lenders and investor-focused DSCR lenders each work differently.
Each type has a place. A bank may suit a borrower who wants to document personal income, and hard money is built for short projects. When the goal is long-term cash-out on a rented property, a DSCR loan is designed for the job.
| What investors need | LendingStreet | Typical bank or credit union | Typical hard money lender |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualify on rent instead of tax returns | Yes, DSCR-based | Usually requires tax returns and debt ratios | Often asset-based; varies |
| Cash-out leverage | Up to 75% LTV | Varies; often conservative on rentals | Varies; usually short-term |
| Borrow in an LLC | Standard | Sometimes, often with extra steps | Common |
| Loan term | 30-year terms available | Often shorter terms or balloons | Usually 6 to 24 months |
| Loan size | From $150,000, no stated maximum | Often capped by local policy | Varies by lender |
| Coverage | All of Kansas, plus 49 other states and DC | Usually its local market | Usually local or regional |
Wichita is the state's largest city and a long-time favorite for single-family rentals at modest prices, backed by a large manufacturing employment base. On the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro, Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa and Shawnee offer newer suburban homes, while Kansas City, Kansas has older, lower-priced housing.
Lawrence and Manhattan are university towns, and Manhattan also draws military households from Fort Riley. Topeka, Salina and Hutchinson add steady, lower-cost rental stock.
Kansas assesses residential property at 11.5% of appraised value, then applies local mill levies, so the bill can differ a lot between Sedgwick, Johnson and Wyandotte counties. Use the actual tax statement rather than a statewide average.
Kansas phased out its mortgage registration tax, which ended in 2019, so recording a new mortgage now costs standard recording fees. The state also has no real estate transfer tax. Together, that keeps closing costs on a Kansas cash-out modest compared with many states, though title and appraisal still apply.
Kansas sits in the path of frequent hail and severe storms, and insurers price that in. Many policies carry percentage-based wind and hail deductibles, and older roofs may only be covered for actual cash value. Get a current quote before you apply, because the premium goes straight into your DSCR.
Homes near the Arkansas and Kansas rivers can fall in mapped flood zones. Some cities, including Lawrence and Kansas City, Kansas, run rental licensing or inspection programs; check with the city before you refinance.
This example is illustrative and not a quote. An investor owns a Wichita three-bedroom rental appraised at $260,000, with $110,000 left on a loan from a few years ago. It rents for $2,050 a month. Taxes are about $300 a month and insurance, with a wind and hail deductible, is about $190.
At 75% LTV the new loan is $195,000. After the $110,000 payoff and an estimated $5,000 in closing costs, about $80,000 comes back to the investor. Estimated principal and interest is about $1,297, so the full monthly payment is about $1,787 and DSCR is about 1.15x.
At 70% LTV the loan is $182,000, cash back is about $67,000, estimated principal and interest is about $1,211 and DSCR rises to about 1.21x. Note how much of the payment is insurance; a newer roof can lower that line and lift the ratio.
| Item | 75% LTV cash-out | 70% LTV cash-out |
|---|---|---|
| New loan amount | $195,000 | $182,000 |
| Existing loan payoff | $110,000 | $110,000 |
| Estimated closing costs | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| Approximate cash back | $80,000 | $67,000 |
| Estimated principal and interest | $1,297 | $1,211 |
| Taxes and insurance | $490 | $490 |
| Total monthly payment | $1,787 | $1,701 |
| DSCR at $2,050 rent | About 1.15x | About 1.21x |
How long you have owned the property matters. Seasoning rules vary by program, and some allow cash-out on a recently purchased or renovated rental based on the new value. Check our DSCR cash-out refinance seasoning guide for the details.
The loan is then capped twice: by LTV, up to 75% of appraised value, and by the ratio, since the rent has to cover the new principal, interest, taxes and insurance at about 1.0x or better. Larger balances and 5 to 8 unit buildings may carry lower limits that vary by program.
Comparing quotes is easier when every lender answers the same questions. Ask these, then compare the answers side by side.
Here is how LendingStreet answers: up to 75% LTV on cash-out, varying by program on larger loans; 1.0x standard minimum DSCR plus sub-1.0 programs; seasoning by program; LLC closings as the norm; a clear timeline set early, since appraisal and title usually drive it; and no stated maximum loan size above the $150,000 minimum.

We recommend LendingStreet. Investors choose us because cash-out goes up to 75% LTV, there are no W-2s or tax returns, and loans start at $150,000 with no stated maximum anywhere in Kansas.
Yes. We lend statewide in Kansas, in cities, suburbs and smaller towns, on business-purpose loans for 1 to 8 unit investment properties.
You can borrow a bit less to raise the ratio, or ask about our sub-1.0 DSCR programs, which are built for rentals whose rent does not quite cover the full payment.
No. Kansas phased that tax out, and it ended in 2019. A new mortgage now pays standard recording fees.
Yes. HOA dues count in the payment, and we review any leasing restrictions in the covenants.
Finish repairs before the appraisal and expect the insurer to ask about roof age. Unrepaired damage can lower the value and delay closing.
Yes. We lend in Kansas and Missouri, and five or more properties may qualify for a blanket portfolio loan on some programs.
No. LendingStreet makes business-purpose loans on non-owner-occupied rentals only, not on a home you live in.
