Home Equity Loans

Ivan Said:

What to look for when shopping around for home equity loans?

We Answered:

You have to have a mortgage license to collect a commission. It is not legal to be involved without a license.

what can you tell me about home equity loans in Galveston Texas?

We Answered:

It is possible, but everything is dependent on the value of the improved property where the house will be moved. Assuming the house you will be moving is not a mobile home, the value of the lot your already own will rise dramatically, but you are not guaranteed the value of what you paid for the house will exist at the new location. Once the house is moved an appraisal will need to be done to determine how much equity exists to borrow against. If you know you will need the loan, it is best you sit down with a local mortgage broker to determine if you will even be allowed to borrow as you will have to have an adequate credit rating and income to repay the loan. To estimate how much may be available to you (and this is an unreliable method), you could identify the tax valuation of the house you plan to move (houses are usually valued separately from land by the tax assessor) and add it to the lot you already own (as valued by the tax assessor)

Charlotte Said:

is there a place that offers home equity loans to people that have bad credit?

We Answered:

$76,000 equity is a dream for a mortgage lender. They are loaning primarily on the equity on your house; not as much on your personally. The going rate on a 2nd mortgage ( another word for homeequity loan) is 8.25%. That is a fixed rate for 15 years. WIth bad credit you will pay 9.875%. Sorry but that is the penalty you pay for your previous mistakes. You can have the money 4 days after you apply.

Danielle Said:

How tax deductible are charitable donations and home equity loans?

We Answered:

No, these become part of your Itemized Deductions if you plan to itemize. The Itemized Deductions reduce your taxable income, which in turn decreases the amount of tax you would owe.

For example (all hypothetical numbers), if your gross income 20,000 and your itemized deductions are 6,000, then your taxable income becomes 14,000. And the tax is calculated off 14,000. (Of course there is still an exemption to account for, but that's not what we are talking about).

Tax credits reduce your amount of tax directly. Deductions reduce your income. I hope this all makes sense.
