Cowtown Construction Guest	Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2008 11:06 am    Post subject: Home Equity Construction Loan Like 0 Dislike 0 I have a home equity lien on my homestead that was originated 2 years ago. We are trying to build a new addition and double the size of the house. Does anyone know whether I can refinance/convert my current loan into a construction loan? If not, can I subordinate the home equity lien to a new construciton loan? If not, how can I get financing to build the house? Thanks for any help.

You cannot convert your current loan into a construction loan but you will be able to take a separate construction loan. If you have paid your earlier loan regularly and have not defaulted ever, then the lender will agree to subordinate the home equity loan. If you have not paid the dues properly, then the lender will ask you to keep the earlier loan primary. Feel free to ask if you have further queries. Sussane

I think you won't have any problem in getting a construction loan. But it's true that a home equity loan cannot be transferred into a construction loan. The earlier loan becoming a subordinate loan will be totally a lender's discretion. Thanks _________________ Good is the Enemy of Great.

Refinancing is replacing your existing mortgage loan with a new loan . And you have benefit for that If interest rates have dropped since you last financed your home, refinancing at a lower rate can save you a lot of money. Refinancing has some rule to know for that you should gather information. Regards Dilip
