I want to know if I can get more than one home equity loans at a time for a single house from different banks. Because I’ve applied for a home equity loan from a bank, but it seems to be not enough for me to do what I want to do with the money. So I thought I can apply for another equity loan from a different bank to double the amount. Is it possible?

We have a $200,000 mortgage on a house that is worth $300,000.
I was thinking about refinancing, but noticed that a home equity line has a lower interest rates APR.
If I take the equity line and pull out the full amount they will give me (the bank told me it is up to 80% of the value of the house) and turn around and pay off the mortgage, wouldn’t that be cheaper for me ?
Where is the caviot in this theory?

We are thinking about getting a home equity loan. We need a new roof and our AC unit is making our electric bill sky-high.
We are thinking about getting a home equity loan. We need a new roof and our AC unit is making our electric bill sky-high.
We’ve never had a home equity loan before, and I’m just wondering if we should go with the company that holds our mortgage, a different company, or does it matter?
Any tips would be helpful as we’ve never done this before.
