Hi wonder!

Welcome to forums!

You can contact your lender and look out for home improvement loans. Check out if your lender offers home improvement loans or not. If not, then you can even contact other lenders for the same. You can even speak to the lenders of this community and seek a no obligation free mortgage quote. This will help you know what type of rates and terms you would receive.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Post     Post subject: home line of credit

we have a fixed rate of 6 % VA loan on our home. The value currently is 129000. we also have a home equity line of credit in the amount of 120000, which is 400 a month on interest only. Can we refinance and add this balance to our existing 1st mortage loan and pay off our line of credit. we dont know what to do. Please advise us. Thank you Rolling Eyes

Hi syl,

You can refinance both the loans into one. If you refinance the loan, then you can get extra cash out which will help you in paying off the home equity loan. But I don't think you would be able to add the balance amount to the first mortgage.

Thanks

in refinancing, if you have sufficient equity in the property, you can, indeed, combine the two balances and pay them off with one new mortgage loan. yes, that is considered a cash out transaction.

Hi Guest,

As the property is already in foreclosure, I guess you are delinquent in your mortgage payments. In such a situation, you won't qualify for a second mortgage. If you want to save your property from foreclosure, then you should apply for a loan modification with your lender.

Post     Post subject: bank take both houses ?

We have our house paid off that is worth aprox 75k and we want to use our house to get a equity loan to buy a lake house for 75k. If my world went bad and I couldn't make payments would they take both houses or just my main house that I had paid off ?

I would have to say if there is equity in your home get it out now! Just to say there is better ways to invest your money besides letting it sit in a depreciating asset. Peter Scalise

well of course, that wasn't the question, was it?

intercom, if you mortgage your current home to purchase a new property and subsequently default on that mortgage, the lender will foreclose on its mortgage, i.e. the current property.

is there a remote possibility that a lender could find itself losing money and seek retribution by placing a lien on your newly-purchased property? well, of course there is, but i'd like to think that's kind of far-fetched to say the least.

go ahead and do what you have planned.

Hi charles,

You can contact your current lender and apply for a home equity loan. Similar to your primary mortgage, he would judge your credit score and income before giving you the loan. If you want, you can even contact other lenders and check out the type of rates and terms they are offering you. If you get better rates with them, you can go for it. It is not mandatory to take the second loan from your current lender. You can even seek a no obligation free mortgage consultation from the lenders of this community. This will let you know the type of rates and terms you would get.

no name, your query is too vague for anyone to answer properly. where you are located will make a major difference in how you'll be treated as you search for a home equity loan. it might just be that the bank down the street from you offers loans to all comers, regardless of score. check there first, and stay local before you seek a national lender's viewpoint.
