For those of us that currently have a line of credit against your homes, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Because under the recent changes in the lending industry guidelines, obtaining a line of credit or home equity loan is almost impossible and is on the near brink of elimination.
It’s with obvious reasons that the line of credit and home equity loans were the hardest hit with the new lender guidelines. One of the primary reasons for this was that property values have decreased from what they were one year ago. As such, those of you that currently have a line of credit or home equity loan, need to make sure that you mail your required monthly payments in on-time to avoid harsh penalties. Trust me on this, lenders are continuously looking for ways to minimize there risk, and being late on your payment is one way to have it canceled; lenders are looking for any excuse.
Having that line of credit or home equity is great for those who have it. It helped us consolidate those credit cards, put kids through school, buy a second car, fix the home up or do something else. Line of credits are great to have just for emergency purposes, since it gives you the ability draw additional funds for unexpected events when those needs arise.
