Should I Get a HELOC? Thankfully, many of our clients are happy with their mortgages.  The interest rate, the terms, the peace of mind --- all are satisfactory and there's no motivation to change or refinance.  But what happens if there's a need to use the equity in the home to finance a remodeling project, a large purchase or to just have a "safety net?"  A home equity line of credit or "HELOC" can be used to meet these purposes, but should you get a HELOC and, if so, how do they work? What Is a HELOC?A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is most often a second mortgage or junior lien, that "goes behind" your existing (first) mortgage.  Unlike a traditional "closed end" mortgage that is fully-amortized, a HELOC usually allows the borrower to draw a balance on a line or limit, then pa...

And since crawlspaces are mostly unmonitored, hazards can breed there unchecked for long periods of time. The following are some of the more common dangers discovered in crawlspaces: • mol...

Seem like an exaggeration? When it comes to 203(k) consultants the comparison is accurate: these professionals really know the HUD and Fannie Mae Guidelines and prove to be the most valuable member of the Renovation Loan Process that helps out when you buy a home and make major repairs with a standard FHA 203K renovation loan – also called a Consultant K* loan or the Home Style Loan.When you buy a property that needs structural repairs and/or needs repairs, you are talking about projects that may require professional experience and expertise...
