Home Equity, Mortgages, Real Estate Top Stories

What happens to Helock due to poor housing?

If the US falls into a recession, it could make it even more difficult for homeowners to hold a Home Equity Credit Line (HELOC). If history is a guide, a decline in home prices and a decline in value can encourage lenders to freeze, cut, or demand full credit line payments. What is the best way for a homeowner to prepare?

Are there any home conflicts on the horizon?

There is a lot of talk about the housing market about to crash. It’s a relief from price increases, long days in the market, bigger price cuts, seller concessions. And don’t forget to consider President Trump’s trade war and massive deportation. But our experts ask us to be different, saying that the market is heading towards a “soft landing” rather than collapse on the scale of the Great Recession. We’ll explore all the reasons.

Layoffs could put mortgage protection on Limbo

The job was cut by regulatory bodies that oversee the mortgage market, including the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, the Housing and Urban Development Agency, and the Federal Housing Financial Institutions. So who will oversee lenders and implement regulations designed to protect consumers?

Score how Helocs reached your credit score

Like any other debt, HELOC will report your credit history. While most lenders are given to check your credit score when applying for a HELOC, what has a major impact on your score and creditworthiness is how you use and manage your HELOC after it is opened.
