1. If your score is below 650, you probably wont get one. And just because you have a low score does not mean that the rate will be 9%. They may surprise you with a lower rate. As far as which would be a good one? Most of the lenders now have been raked over the coals for screwing over their customers. I would find a local Primerica agent and see if they can help. The $.M.A.R.T. Program offered if very flexible and just might work in your situation.
2. If you are a first time borrower of a home equity loan it is imperative that you have a checklist of essential questions that you need to ask each and every lender. The answers to these questions will provide a valuable reference to base your comparisons on. What’s the interest rate? Knowing this is crucial. The interest rate will determine<!--the monthly payment you will need to make. You also need to know if the interest rate is of a fixed or adjustable nature. Fixed rate implies that the monthly payments will remain constant, while an adjustable rate implies that rates will fluctuate depending on market conditions. http://best-loans.awardspace.com/homeloans.htm In adjustable rate, when will rates change? If your interest rate on the home equity loan is of the adjustable variety, you need to know three things: when the rate is going to change (that is under what conditions), how frequently will the rate change and what’s the average-->percentage by which the adjustable rate will change. What is the Annual Percentage Rate or APR? The APR on the home equity loan will determine the yearly payment you will need to make towards this.The higher the payment in terms of points, the lower is the interest rate.
3. If your score is below 650, you probably wont get one. The 2 major types of home equity debt are: home equity loans and a home equity line of credit or Heloc. Both these categories use your home as collateral. A home equity loan is nearly equivalent to your primary mortgage, since it is a fixed interest loan. The interest rate throughout the duration of the loan is constant, irrespective of the number of years for which you have taken the loan. http://www.freewebs.com/getanswer/TypesofHomeEquityLoan.html
4. Home equity loan is a good option but I would suggest refinancing instead. Home equity has overall high rate of interest, & in the long run they are going to cost you more $$, which you should avoid as you already are suffering from bad credit. http://www.homemortgagewhiz.com/homeequityrefinance.html Refinancing on the other hand is a better option for equity in your home. What you should however remember is that only few financial institutions will refinance your home at hundred percent of its value without giving you an ultimatum to take a second mortgage. Be careful and don't use hundred percent of your equity because it can prove to be a costly mistake in emergency situations, as you will have no luxury of falling back to your equity in that scenario.
