How To Get A Home Equity Loan Without Losing Your Shirt

Who Should Get A Home Equity Loan?
In most cases, not nearly as many people should get one as are currently applying for it. Oftentimes, it simply is the result of people who want something - and they want it now. A wise use of your home's equity, though, is to leave it right where it is - building up even more equity that come will come in real handy when you sell it.
A home equity loan, however#7# is really a loan taken out against your own home. This means that your home itself is the instrument that secures the loan. Your house has now become the guarantee that you will keep on paying your loan. Stopping payments for any reason - you lose it.
What Is A Home Equity Loan?
A home equity loan is typically a second mortgage. As such, it has a higher interest rate than a first mortgage, and a shorter time period to pay it back - up to 15 years.
What Are The Advantages?
A home equity loan can be used for any purpose. It has the best value, though, when used for renovations or improvements on your home. Besides adding to the value of your home (increasing equity even more), the portion used for your home improvement is usually tax deductible, too. This brings down the interest rate more when used for this purpose.
A home equity loan can also be obtained in two different ways. You can get them either as an adjustable rate mortgage#8# or as a fixed rate mortgage. This makes it most convenient, and gives you the flexibility of choice - based on the economy and your situation.
Is There Anything Better Than A Home Equity Loan?
The best deal you can get is to refinance your first mortgage with a cash out mortgage. This gives you new terms on your mortgage, can be used to combine two mortgages (or three), and gives you the lowest interest rate out there. It also gives you access to your equity by simply adding the amount of equity you want onto the loan. You should be planning on staying in that home, though, for at least the next five years to make it worthwhile.
