Use the Equity in your home to get cash.

There are two main ways to get access to the equity in your home without having to go through an entire refinance mortgage!

The first main option is the Home Equity Loan.

A home equity LOAN is not a product that can be drawn on at any point during its term. This product is a one time cash release from the equity in the house. As with both products it uses the equity in the home.

Positive Home Equity Loan

  • Can be a fixed rate with a fixed payment.
  • A one time large lump sum.
  • Tends to be used as an alt to a strait second for a purchase 100% financing options.

Possible negative Home Equity Loan

  • Only is a one time cash option.
  • May have a prepaid penalty for several years after it has been open
  • Most likely will require a Full appraisal and have strict qualifying guidelines

The second main option is the Home Equity Line.

This second option tends to be the more popular equity type. The interest rates on Home equity lines tend to lower than the fixed product. It allows for regular drawing of funds as long as the account is in good standing. Plus the added possibility of paying interest only which keeps the minimum required payment low.

Positive Of Home Equity Line

  • Allows anytime access to cash
  • Very varied payment options.

Possible negative Home Equity Line

  • Tends to be a variable rate usually prime plus (x)
  • No real term and interest only payment means that the equity borrower will have to pay off the principle at will.

Both Home Equity Loan/Line products offer varied rates and payments.

What the borrower qualifies for depends on the exact home's value and the ratio/credit requirements. Both offer the positive point that the current first mortgage stays intact and does not have to be touched. This means less fees involved in the transaction. In fact, most of these loan types allow for the fees to waived during the transaction as long as the product is keep open an active for several years.
