How long do you have to wait for a home equity loan?

Posted by admin on March 9th, 2010 and filed under home equity | 4 Comments »

How long after purchasing a home do you have to wait to take out a home equity loan? Do you have to re-close? Are there loan you can take out beside equity if you own a home?

You can take out a home equity loan at any time after you have purchased a house as long as you have the necessary equity to do so. Yes, you will have to "re-close" on the new loan because you will have new paperwork and a new lien will be added to the house. As for your last question, I believe you are asking about other loans you can take out if you own your home. Well, of course there are other loans that you can take out that aren’t assosiated with your home, but that depends on what you are looking to finance. Anytime you use your home as collateral on a loan, the bank will put a lien against the title and will require some sort of equity available to draw from. You can try for a home improvement loan, which again is based on your equity, but there are stricter guidelines for those types of loans.

Can you pay off a home mortgage with a home equity line of credit?

Posted by admin on March 7th, 2010 and filed under home equity | 3 Comments »

My sister is asking me for money to pay up her home equity line. When I asked about her mortgage payment, she said she paid it off with her home equity line. Is that possible to borrow money on your home to pay off your home?

If her home mortgage rate was higher than her line of credit it makes sense. I do not have a home mortgage but I do have a line of credit on my home.

Normally you can just make interest payments on a equity line if you want. My heloc is locked for 5 years with minimum payment being the monthly interest.

Normally people do borrow on their home to pay off their home when they refinance.

What to look for when shopping around for home equity loans?

Posted by admin on March 5th, 2010 and filed under home equity | 2 Comments »

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.

You have to have a mortgage license to collect a commission. It is not legal to be involved without a license.

The home is paid for and no liens are against it. The home would not pass inspection at this time. I need 20K to make it livable again. Someone told me that the bank would lend the
the money on the future equity of the property if I had a licensed contractor do the work. Can anyone clarify this type of loan. Thanks in advance.

I just finished building my house and I have no mortgage or anything as I had enough cash to buy the land and build outright. But, I have no money left to landscape and have some medical bills I would like to pay off. Can I get a home equity loan or line of credit on my house? Which is better?

A mortgage would be your best bet when it comes to a lower interest rate.
Most banks have prepenalty payments on most of the equity type of loans. However the line of credits generally will not.

What is the difference between a mortgage and a home equity loan?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under home equity | 6 Comments »

I own a home that is paid off but would like to take out a loan to fund some home improvements as well as help my parents pay off their home equity loan. Given this scenario can I take out a mortgage since mortgage rates are lower or am I limited to a home equity loan. I’m not interested in HELOC’s.

Just the packaging of the financial product. Once upon a time Home Equity Loans were called 2nd mortgages. The real difference is risk factor for the bank. Typically Home Equity Loans are 2nd to be paid in the event of a foreclosure or other bad financial happening – leaving them exposed if there wans’t any many for them at the end of the day. So they charge you a bit more interest to compensate for this additional risk. Since you would be leveraging your house for the 1st time again, and the holder of this new "note" would be the only creditor and thus 1st in line for payment in the event of default, lenders may negotiate a little and get you a better rate.

Its probably something you should take to a local bank or branch where you can work with a real person. I wouldn’t advise trying to work this deal through an online lender.
