Home Equity Loans

Need to remodel but no money? Or need a loan to send Johnny to college? You can tap into the equity you have in your home (the amount your house is worth minus what you owe on it) via a Home Equity Line of Credit, or Home Equity Loan.

Home Equity Loans

Home Equity Loans are when a lender gives you a set amount of money and you pay it back over a fixed payment schedule. Typically these loans have fixed interest rates. This is a better option for someone who wants to lock in a fixed interest rate, either because they think interest rates are going to increase or because they like the certainty of knowing what their payment schedule will be.

A home equity loan also is a better option than a home equity line if you know exactly how much money you need to borrow and when you want to borrow it.

How to get a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit

You can shop anonymously for mortgage rates for a home equity loan or line of credit on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace. Just submit a loan request and you will receive custom quotes instantly from a marketplace filled with thousands of lenders. The process is free, easy and best of all, you are anonymous.

Home Equity Line of Credit

A HELOC, or Home Equity Line of Credit, is the right to borrow up to a certain amount of money from a lender. The "line" is a credit line guaranteed by your house, meaning that if you can't live up to the terms of the line, then the lender has a right (after a few nasty letters) to foreclose on your house. Typically, HELOCs (pronounced HEE-locks) have floating interest rates that can change periodically.

For example, a borrower might obtain a $75,000 HELOC at "prime plus one." This means that the interest rate is one percentage point higher than the Prime Rate. If Prime is 5.5%, then the HELOC is 6.5%. Remember: The rate is tied to the Prime and could change as much as at every billing date. (The change can be dramatic; e.g., in April of 2007, the Prime was 8.25 percent, whereas in June of 2003, it was 4.25 percent.)

Home equity lines can be used by the borrower to pay for anything. You literally get a checkbook for the HELOC and you can write checks to your heart's content until you've maxed out the line's limit. Although HELOCs were originally designed for homeowners to pay for home improvements and other house-related projects, nowadays borrowers use home equity lines for almost anything. Most HELOCs also have online Internet access so you can pay bills online using your HELOC just like you would with a regular online checking account. Like a credit card balance, you can pay down a HELOC at any time, without penalties.

Home equity lines are serious stuff, since they're secured by your house. If you can't meet the payment obligations such as your minimum monthly balance, your homeownership is in jeopardy.

• Who should get one: Someone who might need extra cash for home improvements, or is looking at borrowing money to buy a different house (in addition to a mortgage).
• Who shouldn't: Do not use a HELOC to splurge for things like vacations or to finance other consumer debts, like credit card purchases (unless you then plan to tear those cards up!). HELOCs are guaranteed by your house, which means the stakes are very high.

Home Equity Tax and Interest Information

Are HELOCs tax deductible? Sort of. Like first mortgage interest payments, home-equity borrowing differs from credit card debt in that you can deduct the interest on your tax return. But this only applies if you itemize your deductions. Also, the tax deduction on interest is limited to loan amounts up to $100,000, with some restrictions.

What determines the interest rate? The Loan to Value and your credit scoredetermine the interest rate of a home equity loan or line. If your credit score is excellent (760+), you may be able to get an interest rate at the prime lending rate, or possibly lower. A good credit score (700-760) will likely get you an interest rate that is about the same as the prime rate. Poor credit will likely result in rates of 1-5 points higher than the prime rate. Except in some cases, you should be able to avoid fees such as application or appraisal fees, though you might get hit with an annual fee or a small "recording" fee.

Home Equity Loan as a Second Mortgage

HELOCs and home equity loans can also be used as second mortgages at the time of purchase. Frequently they are the second purchase mortgage for 10, 15, or 20 percent of the purchase price when buying a home. Home buyers can avoid buying mortgage insurance (PMI) if they take out two loans instead of one, with no single loan exceeding 80 percent of the purchase price. Home equity loans (or lines) can fill this gap, wherein the first mortgage is frequently 80 percent of the purchase price and the Home Equity Loan is the second mortgage.

Environmentally friendly supercars

Environmentally friendly supercars

Rising gas prices and tougher U.S. government gas-mileage requirements for the coming years have forced the car industry to take hybrid cars very seriously.
There's a whole new generation of so-called plug-in hybrid cars in the pipeline. These supercars can be recharged with household electricity, which is much cheaper than running a gasoline engine to recharge the battery.
Nowadays, every manufacturer is motivated to achieve radically better gas mileage -- even exotic, high-performance brands such as Ferrari and Bentley.
It might surprise you that many important innovations such as air bags, antilock brakes and traction control started out exclusively on high-end cars before working their way down to the mass market. You could say that the automobile itself started out as a toy for the wealthy.

That makes the idea of expensive, environmentally friendly supercars seem almost traditional.
