Home equity loan rate -- now that's a big factor in your success. Make sure you have a good one.
If you are working down at the Mine, and you tap some sinkhole or underground spring unintentionally, you could be in deep s--t. However, if you tap into your home equity, the loan rate you receive could make this a virtual windfall for you. After all, you have earned the right to treat your home as if it were any other asset, and get the monkey off debt off your back. Let's say you have made $50,000 worth of payments. Then you can leverage $50,000 worth of home equity. The loan rate you get is the key.
Okay that did not make a lot of sense, but when you are in search of a low home equity loan rate, it doesn't matter if anything makes sense as long as you can tap that equity! And not pay up the nose for interest! We cannot stress this enough!
First of all, get lucky. If you know the market is gonna be going down, and you can refinance to get a good home equity loan rate, then good for you. If this just happens to come about and you are in the right place and the right time, there is nothing in the world wrong with a little serendipity. Still, better to pay attention. The other way to ensure a low home equity loan rate is to make sure that you have got some good credit going for you. That's how any lender judges you. Your credit.
