Is this something I could get a quote on as an AOPA member? Do you arrange "cash-out" financing?
Answer: There are two challenges for this particular scenario: 1. The time since cash purchase and 2. The usage.
In general, lenders are able to consider cash-out financing requests if the purchase was completed in the last 30 days. Some are willing to go up to 90 days max. Beyond that, cash-out financing throws up a red flag to lenders. They will question why cash is needed all of a sudden so long after the original purchase. Lenders want to steer clear of scenarios where borrowers are needing additional cash to support a struggling business. Because of this, lenders set limits on how long after a cash purchase they will consider cash-out financing.
The second challenge is due to the flight school usage. Many lenders do not offer financing on aircraft that are used in a flight training environment. Those that do prefer to see lower time aircraft with engines mid-time or less. This is due to the excess wear and faster depreciation on aircraft used in flight schools compared to aircraft flown for pleasure or business.
