About Types of Home Equities
there are two types of home equity products

  1. home equity line of credit:
    functions as a credit line. Your lender will open up a credit line for an approved amount. You will have access to the line by using equity line checks. You simply use the check at any time to write the amount you want to borrow from the credit line.

  2. home equity loans:
    function just like a 2nd mortgage. Your lender will close your loan for an approved amount and give you the money. You will then begin repayments based on a amortized schedule.

qualify for a home equity

About Qualifying for a Home Equity

  1. market value: the equity is secured by the market value of your home. The higher the market value, the better the approval amount for your home equity.

  2. credit score: lenders view credit scores to measure your credit risk. The higher your credit score, the more likely you will get approved.

  3. debt ratios: lenders view your debt levels to determine whether you can assume more debt. The lower the debt ratio, the more likely you will get approved.

  4. employment: lenders need to assure that you are employed or have proof of income from self-employment before they will approve your loan.
