home-equity-dec04.jpgEverybody dreams of making own home, and the home becomes the most important assets of our life. In the past people used to buy a home only when they come close to retirement because they used to have sufficient funds (savings) that time. It was not very easy to take a home loan. But now the circumstances have changed quite a bit in the last ten years. There are many people buy a home in their mid to late twenties or in some cases, even before they get married. There are many reasons for this like the rise in earnings of the middle class, easy financing norms, and tax benefits available. Banks provide home loans to buy a site and build a house, buy an under-construction flat or buy a ready flat or house. Generally banks ask for the down-payment which is only 10 to 20 percent and the remaining amount through a loan. Banks check these factors while allotting a home loan.

home-equity-nov29.jpgAccording to Rocio Ceastruita, a credit counselor, advertisements for loans can be seen all the time but especially during the holidays, she said “If you borrow a $1, 40 percent means that you have to pay 40 cents in addition to the dollar.” People generally take loan for their home, car or to fulfill some necessary requirements but loan for distributing gifts is ridiculous.

Fixed Interest Rate: you always know how much money you have to pay every month but unfortunately these days fixed rate loans are not available widely so you may have to make great efforts to get one.

Laurie Asks: I have been divorced since 2005, I signed a quitclaim deed at that time, giving him the home. However, I have just found out that my name is still on the mortgage, and he is refusing to remove my name from the paperwork. Regardless, I am filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy this month. Will that effectively remove my name from the mortgage? How will the lender handle the situation? Will he have to refinance? Answer: at the time of filing, the house will still be in your name. This means that in the eyes of the bankruptcy trustee, your creditors and all other interested parties, the property is still an asset of your estate. Here are some things to consider: Because the property is still legally in your name, you must include it as an asset, just like your car, furniture and other property. Therefore, your case could face very tough and intense scrutiny. Please talk to a lawyer before filing your case. It will be worth the cost to know whether you will be facing a huge uphill battle to achieve the fresh start you seek.
