Current jumbo cash-out guidelines, updated from one source.
Four headline parameters govern a jumbo cash-out, and all four are below as the guideline source holds them. They are the best cell across the lanes, not a single offer: the largest cash-out loan, the highest leverage, the lowest credit floor, and the highest ratio ceiling. No one lane carries every figure at once, which is why the lane tables follow the cards.
From one dollar over the conforming limit on most lanes (a stated dollar floor on two lanes) to $5,000,000 on a principal residence; lower caps by lane and occupancy
The loan runs from one dollar over the county limit to $5,000,000 at the top, with lane-by-lane maximums below that and occupancy caps on several lanes. The cash in hand is capped on two lanes, at $300,000 or $500,000 with reduced leverage on the top fixed lane and at $250,000 to $500,000 by loan size on the expanded adjustable lane.
Loan-to-value on the top cash-out lane; 80% on four of the eight lanes
Leverage runs 90% on one lane, 89.99% on three lanes (two of them as combined loan-to-value), and 80% on the other four (one of them as combined loan-to-value), measured against the appraised value. The higher figures apply on the fixed-rate lanes; the adjustable-rate lanes stop at 80%. The calculator applies each lane’s leverage to the value entered and shows which lanes carry the loan.
Lanes open at the floor and step up by leverage, structure, and amount
A 660 decision score opens four lanes; the rest want more, and the lane table shows each floor beside its leverage and amounts. Credit on a jumbo cash-out is read with the automated finding on the lanes that use one, and with the reserves, the ratios, and the appraisals that decide the rest of the file.
On six of the eight cash-out lanes; lower on the other two
A ceiling of 50% on the most generous lanes, lower on two. Because a cash-out raises the balance and usually the payment, the ratio is tested on the new loan, not the old one, and a file near the ceiling is often fixed by taking less cash, choosing a longer term, or paying off debts with the proceeds.
| Lane | Structure | Credit | Max DTI | Max leverage | Cash-out loan amounts | Occupancies on a cash-out | Cash in hand |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lane A | 30-year fixed, 40-year fixed, 40-year fixed with 10-year interest-only | 700+ | 50% | 89.99% CLTV | above the conforming limit to $5M (second homes to $3M) | primary and second | $300,000, or $500,000 with the leverage reduced by 10 points |
| Lane B | 30-year fixed | 660+ | 50% | 89.99% CLTV | above the conforming limit to $3M (investment to $1.5M) | primary, second, investment | No separate cap; the leverage and the loan maximum govern |
| Lane C | 30-year fixed | 720+ | 50% | 80% CLTV | above the conforming limit to $3.5M (second homes to $2M) | primary, second | No separate cap; the leverage and the loan maximum govern |

| Lane E | 30-year fixed | 660+ | 50% | 90% LTV | $400,000 to $3.5M | primary, second, investment | No separate cap; the leverage and the loan maximum govern |
| Lane F | 30-year fixed | 700+ | 45% | 80% LTV | $600,000 to $3M | primary | No separate cap; the leverage and the loan maximum govern |
| Lane G | 5-, 7- and 10-year adjustable-rate | 680+ | 45% | 80% LTV | above the conforming limit to $5M | primary, second, investment | No separate cap; the leverage and the loan maximum govern |

| Lane | Reserves on a cash-out | Two appraisals | Non-warrantable condos | Underwriting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lane A | 9 months minimum | above $2M | No | DU only; the 40-year fixed is a manual underwrite |
| Lane B | Primary to $2M 6–12, second to $2M 9–12, investment to $1.5M 12 months | above $1.5M | Yes | DU or LPA |
| Lane C | Primary to $2M 6–9, second to $2M 6 months | above $2M | No | DU or LPA |
| Lane D | Per the automated finding; over $2M: 6 months in addition | above $2M | Yes | DU or LPA |
| Lane E | Per the automated finding; $2M to $3M: 6 months in addition; over $3M: 12 months in addition | above $2M | No | DU or LPA |
| Lane F | Per the automated finding | one appraisal | No | DU or LPA; no appraisal waiver |
| Lane G | Per the automated finding; over $2M: 18 months in addition | one appraisal for purchases to $3M and refinances to $2M; two for refinances over $2M | No | no appraisal waivers |
| Lane I | Primary to $1.5M 12 (cash to $250,000), $1.5M–$2M 15 (cash to $500,000); second home cash-out 12–18 months | above $1.5M | No | no appraisal waivers |
The line-of-credit alternative: Lendmire’s HELOC program lends to 90% combined loan-to-value on a primary residence while the existing first mortgage stays in place, sized by the line program’s own ceilings; a conventional cash-out applies at or below the conforming limit. Each is compared on the same numbers before a recommendation.

What a jumbo cash-out refinance is — and how the file is qualified.
The mechanics are the same as any refinance: the appraisal sets the value, the lane sets the leverage and the maximum, the settlement agent pays off the existing liens, and the owner receives the remainder after rescission. What is different above the conforming limit is the lane structure, the reserves, and the appraisal rule, and the cards below explain each.
For the program overview, see Lendmire’s jumbo cash-out refinance program, or the statewide guide at Jumbo Cash-Out Refinance in Michigan; for the conforming limit by county, see the FHFA.
One new jumbo loan, cash at closing
A jumbo cash-out is a brand-new first mortgage above the conforming limit for the county. The settlement agent pays off the current mortgage and any second lien, pays the closing costs, and sends the owner what remains once the rescission period on a principal residence has run. The new loan is sized on the appraised value inside the lane’s leverage, and nothing from the old loan carries over.
Which lane carries the file
The lane is chosen by the file, not the other way around. Score, leverage, loan amount, occupancy, and structure each rule lanes in or out; a file at high leverage points to the top fixed lanes, a large loan at modest leverage to the lanes with the highest maximums, an adjustable structure to the two adjustable lanes. The lane table shows every rule side by side.
Reserves, and one appraisal or two
Reserves are months of the full new housing payment left in verified accounts after closing, and every cash-out lane wants them. On several lanes the automated finding sets the base and the sheet adds months above a stated amount; the top fixed lane states a minimum on any cash-out; the expanded adjustable lane wants a year or more. Retirement and brokerage balances count where the lane allows.
Jumbo cash-out or the alternatives
A jumbo cash-out is the right tool when the new loan must exceed the conforming limit and the owner wants one payment. When the existing first mortgage carries a rate worth keeping, a line of credit behind it reaches the same equity without disturbing it; when the new loan would sit at or below the limit, the conventional cash-out program applies. Lendmire prices all three on the same numbers.
The arithmetic is the lane’s arithmetic. The appraised value times the lane’s leverage gives the ceiling on the loan; the lane’s loan maximum for the occupancy caps it; the liens paid off come out first; and what is left is cash, less closing costs. On the two lanes with a cash cap, the cap applies after all of that, which is why the same Kalamazoo home can yield different cash on different lanes.
Where Kalamazoo’s larger homes sit — and how a jumbo cash-out fits.
A jumbo cash-out in Kalamazoo, MI starts with the market, because the appraised value sets the ceiling and the lane’s leverage and maximum set how much of it may be borrowed. The figures below describe the Kalamazoo housing stock in broad strokes; the appraisal on the specific home, and the lane the file lands on, decide the loan.
Read the figures as backdrop. Kalamazoo’s owner households carry the equity a jumbo cash-out reaches. The figures below are market context, not underwriting inputs; the appraisal, the balance, and the lane decide the loan.

Distinct Kalamazoo neighborhoods, distinct jumbo files.
Homeowners in Kalamazoo own a mix of property types, including luxury condominiums, townhomes, and long-held close-in homes. A condominium brings the project review, a second home brings the occupancy caps, and a very large home brings two appraisals and more reserves; the cards below describe the Kalamazoo market those homes sit in.
Homes held in trusts and entities
Trust vesting is routine on a Kalamazoo jumbo cash-out, and the trust agreement, the certification, and the trustee’s authority to borrow are gathered with the other documents. An irrevocable trust or a limited liability company on title is a different conversation, settled at the review rather than at closing, because some lanes will not lend to it. On a home in Kalamazoo priced well above the $179,000 median, a jumbo cash-out at a lane’s leverage is sized on the appraised value — the existing balance comes off the top, the lane’s cash cap applies where it states one, and the rest is the cash available before closing costs.
Owner-occupied two- to four-unit buildings
Two- to four-unit buildings are common in Kalamazoo’s older districts, and when the owner occupies a unit the lane reads the file as a principal residence with rental income. The reserve months are counted on the full payment, the rent is documented with leases, and the loan officer confirms which lanes accept the property type before sizing the cash-out. Roughly 12,479 Kalamazoo households own their homes on the latest Census estimate — 42% of all households, the pool a jumbo cash-out refinance draws on.
Recently purchased and newly built homes
Recent buyers in Kalamazoo who put a large down payment on a home and now want some of it back are a frequent jumbo cash-out file. Title seasoning follows the lane’s agency-style rules, the appraisal supports the value on sales since the purchase, and the lane’s cash cap, where one applies, limits what one refinance returns; the loan officer compares a line of credit beside it. Median household income in Kalamazoo sits near $52,272 on the latest Census estimate.
Close-in homes with decades of equity
Long-held equity is a common source of a Kalamazoo jumbo cash-out. The existing loan is small or gone, the lane’s leverage on the appraised value sets the ceiling, and the cash is sized under the lane’s cap where one applies. Reserves and the ratio on the new payment are the checks that matter, since the owner is often taking on a larger payment than before. About 58% of Kalamazoo’s households rent — roughly 17,044 renter households on the latest Census estimate.
Townhomes and attached homes in planned communities
A townhome cash-out in Kalamazoo is usually a straightforward jumbo file: comparable sales close by, an association with a budget, and a deed that settles whether the project review applies. The lane’s leverage, its loan maximum, and the cash cap on two lanes govern the loan as they would on any home, and the association’s questionnaire is ordered where the form of title requires it. Kalamazoo is home to about 73K people and sits within the Kalamazoo-Portage, MI area.
Luxury condominiums and the project review
For a Kalamazoo condominium the project is underwritten alongside the owner. Dues enter the ratio and the reserve count, the management company’s questionnaire is the first document ordered, and a building with investor-heavy ownership or a pending lawsuit narrows the lanes to the two that take non-warrantable projects, each with its own leverage and maximum. The median owner-occupied home value in Kalamazoo runs near $179,000 on the latest Census estimate.
Every submarket above is a sense of the market, not a rule; the appraisal on the specific Kalamazoo home, the lane that carries it, the reserves, and the credit profile decide the file; the written scenario comes first, and the appraisal then proves the value it assumed.
Where Kalamazoo owners put jumbo equity to work.
What the cash is for shapes the file more than most owners expect: a consolidation changes the ratio, a renovation changes the value, a second-property purchase raises the question of occupancy and reserves. The uses below are the ones a Kalamazoo, MI loan officer sees most, each with the rule that matters.
Retire a second lien or a line that has reset
When a second lien has become expensive to carry, the jumbo cash-out retires it. The new loan covers the first mortgage, the second, and any cash the owner wants, inside the lane’s leverage on the appraised value; the consolidated payment is what the ratio is tested on, and the loan officer shows it beside the two payments it replaces before anything is ordered.
Education, family, and one-time obligations
Tuition for more than one child, a wedding, help to a parent, a divorce settlement, or a tax obligation: a jumbo cash-out meets a large one-time need from equity at a fixed payment instead of from unsecured borrowing. The lane rules are indifferent to the purpose; what matters is that the loan sits inside the leverage, the maximum, and the cash cap where one applies.
Renovate a larger home without a construction loan
For an owner planning serious work on a Kalamazoo home, the jumbo cash-out replaces a construction loan with one permanent loan funded at closing: no draws, no inspections tied to disbursement, no second closing. The lane rules apply as on any cash-out, including the cash cap on two lanes and the reserve months set by the final amount.
Capital for a business or a practice
For a professional whose practice needs capital, a jumbo cash-out on the Kalamazoo home is a consumer-purpose loan with unrestricted proceeds. The lane reads the owner’s returns, the reserves after closing, and the ratio on the new payment; business funds used for reserves are allowed where the lane permits, with the company’s cash flow reviewed.
Estimate the cash, the lane, and the new payment on a Kalamazoo home before requesting a quote.
The calculator below applies every cash-out lane to a Kalamazoo home at once: enter the value, the balance, the cash wanted, the occupancy, and the structure, and it reports the most cash any lane allows, the lanes that carry the scenario, the new payment at the weekly benchmark, the reserves the lane table calls for, the appraisal count, and the HELOC line behind the current mortgage.

Every field is editable.
Illustrative estimate only — not a Loan Estimate, approval, quote, or commitment to lend. The rate field carries the weekly Freddie Mac thirty-year conforming benchmark, a market reference and not a jumbo cash-out refinance quote; a jumbo loan is priced by the lender at lock. The lanes shown are the wholesale cash-out lanes behind this page as of the snapshot date; the calculator reads each lane’s leverage, loan maximum by occupancy, cash-in-hand cap, and reserves as the lane table states them, and a Lendmire loan officer confirms the lane on the file. The cash available is the loan the lane allows less the balances paid off, before closing costs, which are not included; on most lanes a jumbo cash-out begins one dollar above the conforming limit for the county, and two lanes start at a stated dollar floor instead. The HELOC line is the line program’s combined loan-to-value ceiling applied to the same value and balance. Taxes and insurance are editable estimates. Licensed in sixteen states for consumer mortgages.
Same equity, three ways to borrow it.
A jumbo cash-out is one of three ways to borrow against home equity, and the right one depends on what is already on the house. The cards below compare the jumbo cash-out with a conventional cash-out at or below the conforming limit, where the amount allows one, and with a line of credit behind the existing first, on the same Kalamazoo numbers.
Jumbo cash-out, a conforming cash-out, or a HELOC behind the first.
The jumbo cash-out rewrites the first mortgage at a larger amount and hands the owner the difference. One payment, one structure, one set of lane rules: leverage on the appraised value, a loan maximum by occupancy, a cash cap on two lanes, reserves in months of the new payment, and two appraisals above the lane’s threshold. It suits an owner whose current loan is not worth keeping.
The conventional cash-out is the under-the-limit sibling. It uses the same mechanics and follows agency guidelines, with its own leverage cap on a principal residence. It applies whenever the balance plus the cash wanted does not exceed the county’s conforming limit. The loan officer confirms the limit, which this page never quotes, before choosing between the two. See Lendmire’s cash-out refinance program.
The line is the alternative that keeps a good first mortgage in place. It carries a variable payment behind the first, charges interest only on what is drawn, and is sized by the line program’s combined leverage and its line maximum. For a Kalamazoo owner with a low-rate jumbo first mortgage, the line often reaches the equity at lower overall cost than rewriting the first. See Lendmire’s home equity line of credit.
The decision turns on three questions: is the current first mortgage worth keeping, does the new loan exceed the conforming limit, and does the owner want a lump sum or a line to draw on. The answers point to one of the three routes, and a Kalamazoo loan officer puts the terms of each in writing on the same value and balance. For a purchase or a rate-and-term refinance above the limit, see the jumbo loan program.
What to prepare for a Kalamazoo scenario review.
A jumbo cash-out file is a complete refinance file plus the reserves and the appraisals the lane requires, and gathering the documents before the scenario review shortens every step that follows. The list below is what a Kalamazoo loan officer asks for first.
This is a general preparation guide, not a universal checklist. The selected lender may request additional information based on the transaction, the property, the lane, the automated finding, and the income picture. Nothing here is legal or tax advice.
Local details that can change the loan.
A jumbo cash-out rarely fails on the headline figures; it moves on the details. The cash cap on two lanes, the second appraisal above a threshold, the reserve months, the project review on a condominium, and the occupancy caps for a second home or a rental each shift the loan a Kalamazoo owner can have, and the points below take them one at a time.
Use these checks to keep the Kalamazoo file clean and fundable.
The scenario review opens on three questions, each answered from the lane sheet: how much cash the lane allows on this value and balance, whether two appraisers are needed at this amount, and whether the accounts after closing cover the lane’s reserve months.
- Confirm the cash cap: Two lanes cap the cash in hand; the loan officer confirms the cap at the leverage chosen before the file is sized.
- Check the appraisal count: Above the lane threshold the file needs two appraisals from two different appraisers.
- Count the reserves: Reserves are months of the full new housing payment, verified in accounts after closing.
Two lanes cap the cash itself, not just the leverage
Where a lane caps the cash, the payoffs are not counted against the cap; only the money the owner takes is. That means a Kalamazoo consolidation that retires a large second lien can sit comfortably inside a capped lane while a pure liquidity cash-out of the same loan amount cannot. The calculator applies each lane’s cap to the cash entered and says which lanes carry it.
Above the lane threshold, two appraisals from two appraisers
The second appraisal is a cost, a delay, and a risk, and a loan officer plans around it: if the loan can be sized under the lane’s threshold without starving the owner of cash, that is usually the recommendation; if not, both reports are ordered together and the file proceeds once both are in. The lane table on this page shows every lane’s threshold.
Reserves are counted in months of the new payment, and they grow with the amount
After closing, the lane wants verified funds equal to a number of months of the new full housing payment: taxes, insurance, and dues included. On several lanes the automated finding sets the base and the sheet adds months above stated amounts; the top fixed lane states a minimum on any cash-out; the expanded adjustable lane wants a year or more. The cash taken may count toward reserves where the lane allows.
Title, seasoning, and a listed property follow the lane’s agency-style rules
Vesting and history are checked early: the names on title must match the borrowers, a property held in a trust or an entity is reviewed for the lane’s acceptance, and a home purchased recently or listed recently is measured against the lane’s seasoning and listing rules. A Kalamazoo owner with a straightforward history will not notice this step; one with a recent change should raise it at the review.
Second homes and investment property carry their own caps, and some lanes exclude them
Occupancy is declared, documented, and tested: a Kalamazoo second home must be the owner’s to use, not rented full-time, and a rental is underwritten with its lease and treated as a business-purpose loan. Each occupancy has its own column in the lane table, and the calculator switches lanes when the occupancy changes, which is often the difference between a scenario that fits and one that does not.
From a Kalamazoo scenario review to cash at closing.
Four steps, in order. The scenario review is where the lane, the cash, and the alternatives are settled; the documentation step is where the file proves what the review assumed; the appraisal step sets the value and may need two reports; the closing retires the old liens and delivers the cash. The timeline follows the file, not a promise.
Scenario review
The review settles the shape of a Kalamazoo file: whether the current first mortgage is worth replacing, which lanes the leverage and the amount allow, whether the cash wanted clears the lane’s cap, how many months of reserves the accounts cover, and whether the amount triggers two appraisals. The owner leaves with written terms for the cash-out and the alternatives on the same numbers.
Documentation and the automated finding
The file proves the review: two years of income, every page of the asset statements, the mortgage statements on the liens being paid, the insurance and tax records, and the condominium questionnaire where there is one. On the lanes that use an automated finding, the finding is run and the reserves and the ratio are read with it; the loan officer resolves any condition before the appraisal is ordered.
Appraisal, or two, and the project review
The appraisal step is where the estimate becomes a number. Above the lane’s threshold two appraisers visit the Kalamazoo home, and the lower of their values sets the loan; under it, one report does. Appraisal waivers are not offered on the prime lanes. If the value comes in short, the loan officer shows the owner the choices: less cash, a different lane, or a line of credit for the balance.
Closing, rescission, and funding
The closing is the quiet end of a loud file: documents signed, payoffs confirmed, and the cash disbursed after rescission where it applies. A Kalamazoo owner receives the settlement statement in advance and reviews the figures with the loan officer; the lane’s terms, the payoffs, and the cash on it match the written terms from the review, or the loan officer explains what moved and why.
A brokerage built around larger equity.
A brokerage reads every lane; a single lender sells its own. That difference matters most above the conforming limit, where the lanes vary widely in leverage, cash caps, and reserves, and it is the reason a Kalamazoo owner works with Lendmire. The cards below set out the practice.
Every route, one review
One review covers every way to reach the equity: rewriting the first mortgage above the limit, rewriting it under the limit where the amount allows, or borrowing behind it with a line. Lendmire arranges all three, so a Kalamazoo owner compares them on identical numbers instead of across three separate conversations.
Every lane, read from the sheet
Lanes are not interchangeable: one of the two lanes that lend the most caps the cash, two of the four lanes with the lowest floor take non-warrantable condominiums, an adjustable lane lends the most on that structure and carries the largest rental cash-out as well. Reading them together is the work, and Lendmire does it on every file, with the snapshot on this page kept current from one guideline source.
Every figure, in writing first
Nothing is ordered until the terms are written: the lane, the loan amount, the cash after payoffs and costs, the reserve months, the appraisal count, and the payment at the benchmark. A Kalamazoo owner reviews those figures beside the line-of-credit and conforming alternatives, and the appraisal is ordered only when the owner has chosen.

Kalamazoo jumbo cash-out refinance FAQs
Owners bring the same questions to a jumbo cash-out again and again, and the answers below cover the ones that come up most.
What is a jumbo cash-out refinance, and when do I need one?
A jumbo cash-out replaces the mortgage on a home with a bigger loan above the conforming limit and hands the owner the difference at closing, after the old loan, any second lien, and the closing costs are paid. It is the route when the new loan has to exceed the county’s limit, which the FHFA resets each year and a Lendmire loan officer confirms before the file is placed.
How much cash can a jumbo cash-out reach on a Kalamazoo home?
Start with the appraised value times the lane’s leverage. Cap that at the lane’s loan maximum for the occupancy. Then subtract the liens paid off, before closing costs and before any cash cap the lane states. Some lanes lend to the top leverage in the snapshot on this page. Others stop at eighty percent. Loan maximums differ by lane and occupancy. The calculator on this page reports the most cash any lane allows on the value and balance entered.
Why is the cash in hand capped on some lanes?
It is a lane rule, not a program rule. Six cash-out lanes let the leverage and the loan maximum set the cash; two, the top fixed lane and the expanded adjustable lane, add a cap on the money the owner receives. When the cash wanted exceeds the cap, the loan officer moves the file to a lane without one or pairs the cash-out with a line of credit behind it for the balance.
What credit score does a jumbo cash-out need?
Every lane states its own floor, from the lowest in the snapshot to the seven-hundreds on the top lanes, and the floor is a decision score, not an average. A Kalamazoo owner at the lower floors still has four lanes to choose from; one at the higher floors has every lane. The loan officer places the file where the score, the leverage, and the amount meet.
How many months of reserves does a jumbo cash-out require?
It depends on the lane and the amount. The lanes that use an automated finding take its reserve requirement as the base and add months once the loan passes their thresholds; the lanes with a published table state months by occupancy and amount; the top fixed lane states a cash-out minimum. A Kalamazoo owner sees the months for the lane that fits in the calculator above.
What does a jumbo cash-out cost to close?
The costs are the lender’s, the title company’s, the appraiser’s, and the county’s, itemized on the federal disclosures at application and before closing. They come out of the loan at the table, reducing the cash in hand, and a second appraisal above the lane’s threshold is the one cost particular to larger loans. Nothing on this page is a fee quote; the disclosures are.
How does the jumbo cash-out process work from review to funding?
Four steps: a scenario review that sizes the loan, names the lanes that fit, and puts the terms in writing beside the alternatives; documentation and the automated finding; the appraisal, or two, with the project review on a condominium; and the closing, after which the rescission period runs on a principal residence and the loan funds, paying the liens and the owner. The timeline follows the file, not a promise.
What loan structures are available on a jumbo cash-out?
The structure chooses the lanes and the payment at once. Fixed-rate structures are carried on six of the eight cash-out lanes and reach the top leverage; adjustable structures are carried on two at eighty percent; a forty-year term is carried on two with reduced leverage. The sheet’s interest-only lane is purchase and rate-and-term only, so it sits outside the cash-out table; a Kalamazoo owner who wants an interest-only period on a cash-out is placed on one of the forty-year lanes, which carry a ten-year interest-only option.
Why does a jumbo cash-out sometimes need two appraisals?
Most lanes name an amount above which the loan needs two appraisals, prepared by two different appraisers, and one lane names none. Two lanes set the threshold lower than the rest, and the adjustable lanes count refinances differently from purchases. The rule protects the lender on large loans, and it means a Kalamazoo cash-out near a threshold is sometimes sized just under it.
Can a jumbo cash-out be written on a condominium?
It can, and the building decides the lane as much as the owner does. Warrantable projects are open on every cash-out lane; non-warrantable projects on two. A special assessment, a lawsuit, or a budget without reserves is the usual reason a project fails the broader review, and the loan officer finds that out early rather than after the appraisal.
A Kalamazoo jumbo cash-out sized to the value, the balance, and the lane.
Equity above the conforming limit deserves a lane-by-lane reading rather than a single product. Request a scenario review and a Lendmire loan officer returns the lanes that fit, the cash each allows, the reserves, the appraisals, and the payment, with a line of credit and a conforming cash-out compared beside them, all in writing and all before anything is ordered.
