Second Mortgages - Lending Plex

Common Questions:


1 How much equity do I need in my home to qualify?

Home Equity Loans are possible regardless of acquired equity, however more equity will almost always garner lower interest rates from your lender.

2 Can I take out a home equity loan to finance home improvement?

This is an extremely common practice. Depending on how the money is used you may even be able to deduct some of the interest expenses from your taxes.

3 What is a home equity line of credit?

A home equity line of credit differs from a home equity loan in that money can be taken out as needed. If you are financing the construction of a new home, this is often a convenient option to handle expenses as they occur without repeating the loan approval process numerous times.

Beware of Predatory Lending
Shockingly, federal law does not define predatory lending. When it comes to protection from abusive lenders, don't count on your good old Uncle Sam for help. Nope...

Buying a home in the aftermath of the sub-prime lending shakeup
By now, I'm sure that almost everyone has heard of the sub-prime lending shakeup. In case you haven't heard, the sub-prime lending shakeup was the result of many lenders' policy of making loans that were extremely aggressive and not necessarily good investments and that caused those loans to have a very high default rate, which has caused investors to stop purchasing the loans in the secondary market.
