Joe Bob,
There are 2nd mortgages out there that will let you get up to 125% of your equity. Interest rates are high and costs are horrible but if you need it bad enough and your credit is good you might be able to get what you need.
Hope this helps,

Creative Finance Magicians, HELP!!! - Posted by Joe Bob
Posted by Joe Bob on December 04, 1999 at 22:27:50:
I am a homeowner in need of a home equity loan. Here is my situation.
As you can see there is little equity in the house, however I do not know what the appraisal value is after the past 1.2 years and a few home improvement projects.
I need a home equity loan for 10,000 - 25,000 dollars. Am I trying to get blood from a turnip or do any of you creative finance magicians know how to pull this loan out of your magic hat?
Pleas Help!
Thanks,
Joe Bob
How about a 125% 2nd Mortgage ? - Posted by BrokerFLA

Yes, the 125’s are still available. If you have been in your home over 12 months the 125% would be computed using your current appraised value. You need a credit score of 640+. With the number you mentioned above you could get $36,500. The interest rate would range from 12.35% to 16.50% based on your credit score. These type of loans are almost always “Full Doc”.

Joe bob,
My question would be, "what do you need the cash for?"
Once we know that, then perhaps we can come up with an accurate answer.
The key to solving a problem is knowing whatthe problem is.
Ignore the obvious solution, and work backwards.
good luck,
Jim IL

Yes, Blood from a Turnip is closer to it. I have been amazed at the things a bunch of the Creative Real estate folks do on a daily basis. Creative financing has taken on a whole new meaning. Maybe you could borrow the money from your best friend, whose wife is going to have your grandchild. I mean go for it, who knows. The only danger is a few fees and nos. Afterall you only need one YES!

depends where you are. if you’re in Texas–you’re out o’ luck…here in texas we can only pull cash out up to 80% of our Appraised value…:^(
if you’re in CA for example-- you can probably make it happen with decent credit. check with a good broker, and see what they can do for you.

Back in the early 80’s there was this red headed guru that used a concept called equity sharing. You could sell you part of your house’s future appreciation for cash. Come to think of it isn’t that in the PACtrust
