Home Equity Mortgages - the basics

With home equity mortgages or lines of credit, one can borrow up to 80% of the equity in their home. For example, if your home is valued at $125,000 and your mortgage balance is $50,000, you could borrow up to $60,000 (80% of your $75,000 equity). Of course, this money should not be used lightly at all - like all mortgages, this is money that you will have to pay back and your home operates as collateral on the loan. If you fall behind on your payments, you might have to undergo foreclosure and then the lender takes over your property. We don't recommend looking into home equity mortgages if you are going to, say, go on vacation or something like that. Many people use their loans with the intention of paying off other debts immediately, such as college loans or the like.

You see, you get a home equity loan with the assumption that your home is going to appreciate in value. If it doesn't, the homeowner ends up owing more than the house is worth, leaving them "upside down." As you can imagine, this can lead to severe financial hardship. We recommend being careful when taking out any loan against your home mortgages.
