Which would be the best odds Equity Loan or second Mortgage?
We are in need of a mojor bathroom remodel really soon or we risk not having a functioning shower soon. We currently have over 3x our loan due amount within equity, but our credit rating is not the best.
What I would like to do is take out the loan for the remodel (including materials for other areas of the home we can do ourselves) for a fixed 15-30 year repayment so our curretn payments will be low plenty to not hurt us until we sell in 5 years when we will hold paid the 1st mortgage in full and we will repay the 2nd loan surrounded by full from the sale profits.
Which would be the best way to be in motion for our needs, timeline, and credit rating to make the most of it and procure the best rates possible? Thank you
"> 1st of all, a 2nd mtge IS a home equity loan.
what u need to establish is whether 2 go with a home equity LOAN (fixed rate for a specified character, or period of time) versus a home equitl LINE OF CREDIT - called a HELOC). the heloc floats next to the prime rate, plus a certain margin. so the payback rate change as the prime rate does, whether its up or down. most will have a percenatge that the interest rate cannot be lower than.. mine cant go lower that 3.75%. if your credit is discouraging, the margin will be on the higher side. but, the well brought-up thing about a heloc is that you solely pay interest on the amount outstanding, like a credit card. so, if you took out a heloc for 25,000, but simply used 17,000, you will pay interest on the 17,000. on a LOAN, you pay interest on the full amt of the loan, similar to a mortgage.
check with your lender as to what you will qualify for and what the current loan and heloc rates are.
