apex-oo-2 — PASS

Question: Can I get a cash-out refinance under Apex with a 660 FICO score and a $1.2 million loan amount on my primary residence?

Expected: 75% max LTV for cash out

AI Answer: According to the Apex Matrix v 1.0 (01-01-2026).md document, for a primary residence with a loan amount of $1.2 million, the corresponding FICO score and LTV/CLTV for a cash-out refinance are as follows:

Loan Amount FICO Purch / RT Refi LTV/CLTV Cash Out LTV/CLTV
>$1 MM to $1.5 MM 740 85 80
720 85 80
700 85 80
680 80 75
660 75 75

Since your FICO score is 660 and your loan amount is $1.2 million, which falls within the $1 MM to $1.5 MM range, the maximum LTV/CLTV for a cash-out refinance would be 75%.

Therefore, with a 660 FICO score and a $1.2 million loan amount on your primary residence, you can get a cash-out refinance under Apex with a maximum LTV/CLTV of 75%.

Additionally, the document states that "All loans >$4mm on a prior to submission review and case-by-case basis only", which implies that loans over $4 million will require a prior submission review and will also be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
