How to go about obtaining a home equity loan

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    You will need sufficient equity in the home. An appraisal will determine its value.

  2. Step 2

    Your credit must be in good standing. Total indebtedness must meet the lender's qualifying ratios.

  3. Step 3

    You can obtain equity loans with zero or less equity. Loans up to 125% or more of the house's value come with very high interest rates, more stringent fees, and strict qualifying rules.
