<prompt> Human: I need to buy my ex girlfriend out of a condo we bought a few years back. It was appraised for 340k and our current loan balance is 246k. She wants 36k to be bought out of the deed. Our loan carrier wont refinance for more than 80 of the appraisal amount. They will give me a new loan of 272k, and I will be able to pull out 20.5k after closing costs. I have my finances in order enough to easily cover the full 288k loan necessary to pull out enough to buy her out. What options do I have? Should I try to see if other lenders will let me pull out more equity? Any help would be appreciated.  <response>: What options do I have?Sell the condo.
