What Are Equity Loans Knowledge Base
What to look for when shopping around for home equity loans? Any advice on what to look for when shopping around for home equity loans? Are there referral commissions? I have a couple of individuals looking for a home equity loan ... I told them I'd look into it for them. I'd like to find a quality vendor, but if referrals commissions are paid out, I'd like to negotiate for that too. How do I figure out what is a "great deal"? PS. I'll happily take general replies but this would be specific to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Home equity loans what happens when my mom dies? My mother who is 85 got a equity loan on her home rather than a reverse mortage loan. I was told today that when she passes the total loan becomes due and payable? Basicly that we can't just keep making the payments. Is that true? She did this loan so the house could stay in the family rather than it being lost at the time of her death? Wat that the right choice any input would be appreciated.
Is it smart to use a home equity loan to pay off car loans, and a line of credit? My husband and I need to lower our monthly payments. We have no debt except a line of credit for $60,000 with the payment of $410 and two car loans both adding up to about $25,000 and the combined payment of $1050/mo. So, we are spending about $1400/month for these 3 things. If we got a loan for $110,000 and payed all these off, our payment at 6.6% would be around $700/month. Of course I would always pay more than that per month which would go to principle. Why isn't this a good thing to do? I realize that getting a new car would add to our payments once again. So, that would not be smart. Other than that, is this a smart thing to do? It seems like it is, but then why don't more people do this?
Are architect or permit fees considered part of "construction costs" for home equity loans? We plan to use a home equity loan to rebuild our studio, putting the loan money in a separate bank account and using that account solely for "construction costs" to ensure the interest remains tax-deductible. Question 1: We're paying an architect to design the building and we have to pay the city a permit fee to review and approve the design. Are these two fees considered part of the "construction costs" of a building so we can use the loan to pay these without worrying about the IRS coming after us? Question 2: Given this scenario, would it be wiser to use a Home Equity Line of Credit so we only borrow what we need when we need it? My concern (as always) is variable interest rates on the lines of credit, so I'd get a lower interest rate today, but it might be higher next year. Thanks! Joe
continued from previous question/home equity loans? The house I am planning on buying already has equity in it. If I plan to get a home equity loan to pay off all of my other bills besides the house payment, can I ask my lender who approved me for the home loan to give me a home equity loan at the same time? How do I do that? & wouldnt it look better to them anyway, because I am playing it smart and paying off all of my other debt with it in order to focus on paying the mortgage?
Who does home equity loans at more the 80% still? We have a house at 94900, and appraised at 125000 but it seems like every bank only loans at 80% of value now which is not much. Any ideas? thanks for the answers so far. Can I get a fha equity loan if my mortage is a conventional fixed not a fha? Thanks
Limit to Number of Home Equity Loans? I have been purchasing, fixing up, and renting homes in the past year. Since the market is so slow, I am able to quickly build up equity. What I do is take out Home equity loans on the houses and then roll them stright back into the purchase of the next house. I'm worried though that I may hit some limit to the number of loans I have outstanding. It would seem that my credit rating would increase since I'm also paying off credit card loans but am not sure about the bank balking at so much debt. What do you guys think?
Will Carmax roll negative equity into their loans? I am upside down $4,000 on a Honda Accord I bought in Feb 06. The payments are too big to handle (I understand it was a mistake to buy it, but shoulda woulda coulda). I want to buy something much cheaper...I hear good things about Carmax. Do they roll negative equity into their loans, if so how much.
Paying Off College Loans With Home Equity? Has anyone ever paid off their college loans using the equity in their homes? I've been told that it's the best and fastest way to eliminate debt but I'd rather hear what others have to say.
How does a home equity loan work? I need to know all the details and if it is a good choice. I have payed off my vehicle and credit cards and have none, but I have alot of student loan debt. Our dilema are the student loans. And paying them. I have heard about home equity loans and heard about being tax deductible. How do they work? Do they look bad on your credit? How much can you borrow ? Does it add to the years to pay off your house? We only have eleven years left to pay as it is right now. Just wondering what is a good option. I even thought that after I graduate and am working that my pay checks can go all to my student loans. I am just looking for some good ideas without having to stress out about debt and bills and such. We are trying to pay our bills off and so far have done good. But those student loans are looming in the background.
Can you use a home equity loan for something other than a home? I need a loan & some people had suggested I look into this because of the lower interest rates, instead of using high interest (not to mention EVIL) credit cards. But it's not for a home & I don't have enough collateral for the amount I'd like to borrow. I have a great credit score over 700, but also have student loans & other credit card debt, which I am very good at paying at, & make enough to make the payments comfortably. If I can't get a home equity loan, what kind of loan can I get, & at what amount & rate should I expect? I've looked around online, but all the bank terminology does nothing but confuse me, so anyone who could explain this a little more "user friendly" would be helpful! It's not for home improvement. Actually, it's basically a business expense, but I'm not sure if a bank would consider this a business type of loan. Oh, & one *minor* detail... I don't own a home :(
Home Equity Loans Interest Rates? Im wanting to finance a pool with a home equity loan. Does that loan effect my current interest rate on my mortgage, or are they seperate?
can you refinance a home equity loan to lower the payments? My mother signed a home equity loan with my grandfather who has just passed, and I am trying to help her pay the bills but the payment on the house is too high. If she refinances could her payment go down? Are there any other options, or any kind of loans or help from anywhere? I am totally clueless this was very unexpected.
Any good business loans out there with low credit score but good equity?
