Paid off investment home. Can I take a 1st mortgage on that property or must I go with a home equity loan?
Filed Under homeequityloansprosandcons | 6 Comments
My brother and I need cash for a business venture and would like to take a loan out against an residential investment property that we co-own free and clear. Is our only option a Home Equity Loan? Ideally we would like to take advantage of the lower rates of a standard mortgage.

Public Records Reading- Mortgages, Do home equity loans show or just reverse and second mortgages?
Filed Under homeequityloansprosandcons | 3 Comments
I read public records when doing RE research so I’m wondering. I guess that only second and reverse mortgages show. And why would someone choose a second mortgage vs home equity loan?
Are we saying that a home equity loan automatically shows as a lien?

Filed Under homeequityloansprosandcons | 11 Comments
I’m interested in buying an invesment property but the home needs a little work. I’d like to get a Home Equity Loan to cover some of the renovation costs. Would I be able to get a Home Equity Loan immediately after closing on the mortgage? If not how long must I wait before being approved for the Home Equity Loan?

The asking price of the home I’m interested in is 30% under market value. Would I be able to get a Home Equity Loan immediately after closing on the mortgage?

My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home. We got a great deal on the house at 1/2 the appraised value. How long do we have to own the house before we can take out a home equity loan on the home. We want the money to fix up some things in the house. Thanks!

How do you give part of your home equity to someone else?

A relative with poor credit wants to give me a portion of her home equity, so that I can use my good credit to get a loan in my name against that equity. Is that possible? How do you do it?

Use my savings or a home equity line to fix my house?
Filed Under homeequityloansprosandcons | 3 Comments
I need to have work done to the foundation of my house. Should i use my savings to pay to have this done, or should i use my home equity line of credit to do it? If i use the line of credit i will have to pay up to 10% interest on the loan, whereas if i use my savings i wont have to pay any interest and i can just make the payments back to myself. Plus it gives me the freedom to “skip” a payment to myself should i need the money for something else, whereas i can’t skip a payment back to the bank.
If i were to use my savings, it would wipe it out.

Can I get a home equity loan with a first mortgage?
Filed Under homeequityloansprosandcons | 4 Comments
I am buying my first home with an FHA loan. The mortgage company I am using doesn’t do a 203K loan and I would like to use money to improve the house. I was approved for $40,000 more than purchase price and only want $20K max. My credit is not perfect… I’m trying to find out the chances of being able to get a home equity loan with a first mortgage. The house is valued $277K and the loan will be for $229000. Any help would be great!

Wanna get one, but not sure if they can give it to me, because I’ve been in the house for 5 years. Are there some limits?
Would appreciate your help.
