An equity loan is a mortgage placed on real estate in exchange for cash to the borrower. For example, if a person owns a home worth $100,000, but does not currently have a lien on it, they may take an equity loan at 80% loan to value (LTV) or $80,000 in cash in exchange for a lien on title placed by the lender of the equity loan. Many lending institutions require the borrower to repay only an interest component of the loan each month (calculated daily, and compounded to the loan once each month). The borrower can apply any surplus funds to the outstanding loan principal at any time, reducing the amount of interest calculated from that day onwards. Some loan products also allow the possibility to redraw cash up to the original LTV, potentially perpetuating the life of the loan beyond the original loan term. The rate of interest applied to equity loans is much lower than that applied to unsecured loans, such as credit card debt. The reasoning behind this is that equity loans involve collateral, and credit card debt does not. This economics or finance-related article is a stub.

I requested $10,000 dollar home equity loan to roof my house. My FICO score was 780 until approx March when I applied for a home equity loan at a fixed rate. Now my FICO score is 740. What happened? I am never late on any payments. I pay over the minimum amount do on my card every time. Asked by happydawg - Tue Jul 1 12:10:36 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. There are a number of factors that go in to the scoring model and on time payments is a major one, but not the only one. Having a new account can be a risk factor all by itself. Since it is a closed end loan, the balance is near the limit and it has probably only just started reporting. I wouldn't freak out or anything. A 740 is still pretty darn good. My scores boucne around with little rhyme or reason. Sometimes opening a new account can have a positive affect. I went to Home Depot to buy $300 worth of windows and walked out with 20K in new credit. Having the additional available credit had a very favorable affect on my scores. I don't have to use the credit if I don't need to. Also, if you have a balance on a credit card that is… [cont.] Answered by Dale H - Tue Jul 1 12:35:16 2008 Can I apply for home equity loan while house is listed for sale? Q. In MD area, is it possible to apply for home equity loan while house is listed for sale? I am trying to purchase a land/lot, but need home equity loan for downpayment.

Since loan is secured by the property.. won't they get their money once property is sold !! what am I missing here ?? Asked by User - Tue Apr 28 13:14:48 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. No...lenders will not make loans on property listed for sale. If you need to get a loan remove your home from the market and then apply for the loan. In the past I've seen lenders refuse to make a loan on a property just a couple of days before the 2nd trust deed closing, when the lender discovered that the property in up for sale.
