With a good credit rating, you can eliminate high interest debts with a low rate home equity loan. Borrowing up to 25% of the value of your home, you don't have to have equity to qualify for a second mortgage. With low rates, you can cut your payments as much as two thirds.
Advantages Of A 125% Home Equity Loan
The prime advantage of a 125% home equity loan is that you can secure lower rates than what you are paying now on your short term loans. In reality, you aren't increasing your debt. Rather you are trading one rate for another.
With lower rates, you payments immediately shrink. You also have the option with a home equity loan to keep the same payment, but take fewer years to pay off your debt, saving you even more in interest charges.
Financial companies are willing to lend to you based on your credit history along with the expectation of increasing property values. Both you and your lender are banking on your home appreciating.
125% home equity loans are for those who plan to stay in their home for several years, or at least until their property value increases significantly. Consolidating your debts with a home equity loan maximizes your term choices. So loans can be for five to thirty years, affecting payment and interest size.
Look For The Best Loan Rates
Take the time to look for the best loan rate before signing any loan contract. Many financial companies now offer 125% home equity loans, so you should have no problem finding loan quotes online.
Compare closing costs is as important as rates, since this can be a hidden expense. By looking at the APR, which calculates both closing costs and interest, you can find who has the cheapest loan overall. Your terms will also affect your rates. The shorter the loan, the lower the rate.
When you have found the right loan, start the application process immediately to secure quoted rates. With online applications, you will receive final paperwork in days. Then, you can have your debts paid off in just a couple of weeks.
