I'm sure that's true, but when you see Robert Wagner on TV trying to peddle plans like this, it makes it sound like if you're over 65, then you should be doing this no matter what your financial situation might be. To me, unless you are truly destitute, it's like selling your first born to the highest bidder. For most people, I cannot fathom doing a reverse mortgage. Most people work their entire life to get their houses & cars paid off. And then to basically use up all the equity in your house so your estate is worth nothing? Still doesn't make a lot of sense to me - unless, like I said, you are destitute.

| Home Equity Loan |
 |
|
Borrowers must exercise caution while considering availing for Home Equity Loan. As they have to put their home as collateral therefore they need to take an amount which they are confident of repaying. Secondly, as the lending market is very competitive with each lender offering different interest rates therefore they need to select the best plan. There are many financial institutions like banks and credit organizations which offer Home Equity Loan and hence finding the best loan as per the requirements is very easy. All it needs is some smart work!

A home equity loan is basically a second loan (after your mortgage) that you take out on your house. But where the first loan (your mortgage) goes toward the purchase of your home, the second loan (the home equity loan) is a lump of cash the bank gives you to spend as you please.

| A reverse mortgage can be better than a home equity loan |
|
|
The main differences is that a reverse mortgage loan can only be taken out if the youngest borrower is 62 or older, your home is your primary residence and you have some equity built up in your home. Also, a reverse mortgage can be received as a lump sum, fixed monthly payment or line of credit. The biggest difference is that a reverse mortgage does not have to be paid back right away. You can generally get more with a reverse mortgage as well.

Before signing off new paperwork, borrower must take care to review all the loan terms on second mortgages. Otherwise, it is dangerous. Some customers may not even realize that a HELOC loan is secured with the equity in the home.

Thanks for sharing. As per my knowledge, home equity loans allow a homeowner to borrow money by pledging the house as collateral. A Home equity loan can help you make home improvements, consolidate higher-interest rate debt, or pay for education or other necessary expenses.

An appraisal has nothing to do with your own creditworthiness. You could be the most sound borrower in the world, but if the collateral isn't worth what you want it to be worth, then you don't get the loan from the bank. Even a billionaire would face this issue if he/she wanted a mortgage and the appraisal fell short.
Start balance transferring that credit card debt to 0% APR credit cards...a lot of CCs are offering 0% APR for 21 months...that'll help you avoid interest and pay down the debt fast.

A Home equity loan is a form of credit for which your home is pledged as collateral. Generally, home equity loans offer a fixed interest rate and a fixed monthly payment. A standard home equity loan (also called a second mortgage) is paid off over an extended period of time.

I guess you're right in refusing them to take photos of your room. I think that's over the top as well. I never knew this kind of background check is also done.
