I have a 590 FICO. The lot is 1.78 acres in Harris County, Texas. I have a recent appraisal for $124,000, and only owe $28,500 against it.

Hi Emailbox,

You mean it's a second mortgage that you are interested in? Or is it a refinance loan?

Hi Emailbox,

Welcome to the forum.

I think as you have good amount of equity you can think about cash out refinance. I will help you to get extra cash from your home equity. Only check out whether you can get it with lower interest rate.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

I own the lot next to my home in West Cave Estates. The lot is worth at least $50K and has been paid in full. I would like to borrow 15 to 20K against the land... who would I approach for that type of loan

Hi Scott Dayton!

Welcome to forums!

You want to take a land loan and for that you need to contact the lenders in your area offering land loans. I don't think you will face much problem in getting a land loan. But there are chances, that the lenders may charge high rates of interest. Well, I shall suggest that you have a talk with the lenders of this community and seek a no-obligation free loan consultation with the lenders here. I hope they'll be able to help you out.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

I own a lot that is valued around 23K. I wish to borrow against it. It is free and clear. Just want some information.

monica, borrowing against vacant land is extremely difficult to do. lenders are not typically enthused about land as collateral. that's not to say you cannot, but i'd opine that your rate will not be especially favorable.

Hi Richard,

Since the lot is not vacant and there's a home on it, you can get a loan using it as collateral. You can contact lenders and see if they are willing to offer you a loan. Since the home has a free and clear title, you can also get a home equity loan using the equity in your property. However, you need to have good income and credit in order to qualify for a loan.

I own 13 acres which was appraised at 10,000.00 a acre 5 years ago. Total value of 130,000 dollars. Now would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 150,000 now. Im wanting to purchase more land,about 70 acres more which is going for 230,000 at this moment. how hard would it be to use my property i own now as collateral to purchase the land mentioned, or whats do you suggest me to do or how to acquire this land?

You can always use the land that you own as a collateral in order to get money to buy new land. If you meet the required criteria of the lender, you would be able to get a mortgage on the said property to buy new land.

Hi charles,

With a credit score of 540, you won't be able to qualify for a loan. You should have a credit score of around 600 in order to qualify for a FHA loan. If you want a conventional home, then you should have a score of 700-720. Unless you have the required credit score, you won't qualify for a mortgage.

Thanks.
