using it for collateral

Answer 1

since your home is free and clear there are a lot of lenders tha would be willing to get you the cash that you need. However, most banks will shy away from mixed-use properties such as yours.

Fortunately I work with 30 banks and two of them are comforatable with mixed-use properties.

1. The first is more of a traditional lender and requires good credit with income documentation and a stable credit history. This will be your first choice since they will have the best programs and rates.

2. The second is an equity lender that has no criteria other than your homes value. since you have a free and clear home they would be happy to help you. the catch is that they have higher than market rates.

You'll have to consider whether the cost of the money will be worth what your spending the money on. It may be better to forego the loan and self-fund what you're looking to do.

You may also look into a Home Equity Line of Credit as an option, also known as HELOCs.

Home equity lines of credit are usually repaid in a shorter period than first mortgages. Most commonly, mortgages are set up to be repaid over 30 years. Equity loans and lines of credit often have a repayment period of 15 years, although it might be as short as five and as long as 30 years

A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, works more like a credit card because it has a revolving balance. A HELOC allows you to borrow up to a certain amount for the life of the loan -- a time limit set by the lender. During that time, you can withdraw money as you need it. As you pay off the principal, you can use the credit again, like a credit card.

A HELOC gives you more flexibility than a fixed-rate home equity loan. .

A line of credit has a variable interest rate that fluctuates over the life of the loan. Payments vary depending on the interest rate, the amount owed and whether the credit line is in the draw period or the repayment period. This is something you'll have to consider too. If having a secure mortgage is important then this might not be the best option.

There is a lot to consider and sometimes it can seem daunting. If you or anyone you know needs advice or quotes on these type of loan please feel free to email me.

Answer 2

Banks have the best and lowest interest rates for Home Improvement loan. If your home is fully paid off, you should easily get loan approval. The home is your collateral. Only problem with Home Improvement is if the local government finds out, they will increase your property tax rate.
