I'm thinking about applying for a home equity loan or line of credit for my home but am discouraged by my below average credit score. To refinance, any and all applicants must also be on the title document, so would the same rules apply on a home equity loan or line of credit?
Anyone cosigning for something such as that would have to be on the deed to qualify. Otherwise is is not a home equity loan but a personal loan.
Do I refinance or get a HELOC (Home Ewuity Line of Credit)... That is the question. Watch this short video to learn which one is best for you ...
Is it a good idea to take out either a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit to pay off high interrest credit cards/ and other debts?
No Bad Idea. What you will do is put an unsecured debt on your house and you never want to do that. You would be better just to work up a plan and pay off the cards or if you must transfer the cards to a low rate card and pay it off as fast as possible. The reason you do not want to put it on your home is what if something happened and you lost your job or got hurt (car crash, etc) and could not work. If you do not pay your credit cards then it just messes up your credit but if you don't pay your equity loan or mortgage they will come take your house. Or what if you don't change your spending habit you pay off the cards with an equity line and then run the cards back up. That happens all the time.
Would a Home Equity Line of Credit or loan used to buy a home be considered a Home Aquisition Debt instead of a Home Equity Debt?
For HELO interest on principal beyond $100k to be deductible, the proceeds must be plowed back into the property pledged as security. If it's used for any other purpose, the interest on the amount of the loan over $100k is non-deductible. To be considered as acquisition debt, the property acquired must be the security for the loan.
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.
The home in state of NJ, I am not sure if I can claim it or not, my dad is ok with it, since it is my loan, but it is his hause address and his name and SSN.
what r u tring to say (hause) house. no you can only use the interest from your loan
