My parents are taking out a home equity loan to lend me money to start a business, does anyone get taxed?
Filed Under homeequityloansprosandcons | 3 Comments
I’m looking to open a shop and my parents offered to lend me some money to help out. They are taking out a home equity loan to lend me about $35,000 to $55,000. I agreed to pay them back. Because they are taking out a loan do they have to pay any taxes? Do I have to pay taxes on this money?
I don’t have any assets so I wouldn’t be able to get a loan for the amounts of money I posted.

Do you need good credit to take out a home equity loan? Will bad credit affect chances of being considered?

My credit is poor but I have probably $80k in equity in my home. Will a bank refuse to approve a home equity loan because of bad credit?

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?

what happens in a home equity default when the 1st mortgage is current?
Filed Under homeequityloansprosandcons | 1 Comment
If I can not pay a home equity line of credit with one bank but I continue to pay the 1st mortgage what action does the home equity line of credit holder take? Both loans are up to date, but I will be unable to pay the HELOC much longer. I do not live in the property in question. It is vacant and with a realtor but it is in Florida and the value is dropping almost daily due to the crisis in the real estate market in florida. Should I let the banks forclose?

Filed Under homeequityloansprosandcons | 2 Comments
The money was used to pay off credit cards. I am still paying on the home equity loan. If I do a home office deduction, which I qualify for in every way, can I use the home equity loan interest as a deductible expense?
