Home Equity
Home equity is the amount of the value of your home that you own, meaning what you have already paid for. This amount can be calculated by subtracting your mortgage from the total market value of your home. For example a house worth $180,000 with a $100,000 mortgage has an equity of $80,000. Generally, lenders will allow a homeowner to borrow 80-85% of their home equity. Fill out our short form to contact lenders about your home equity loan.

Land Loan
Land loans, unlike mortgage loans, are provided solely for the purpose of acquiring land on which to build a new home. Land is a finite quantity anywhere you go and in today’s world it is at a premium because there is only so much to go around. Finding an appropriate lot for a home can be on the level of difficulty of finding an affordable loan for land. Financing can also be more difficult if the borrower intends to wait for more than a few months to build on the property because it adds to the perceived risk if the lot turns out to not be suitable for the building without major work done on the land.

Other basic but important terms to understand are:

• Principal is the amount borrowed (on which interest acts) which is repaid monthly
• Amortization is the process of repaying the amount borrowed through monthly payments of principal and interest.
• Negative amortization is when the monthly payment is not high to adequately pay the loan off. In this case interest builds too quickly and the principal grows instead of decreasing. This can occur because of lender scams or because of monthly payment caps.
• Equity is the value of your house left over after subtracting the total of your mortgage. If your house has a market value of $130,000 and a mortgage of $100,000, the equity is $30,000.
• An index is used to determine the rate on an adjustable rate loan. For some loans this rate may be the Prime Rate or the average rate of a one year Government Treasury Security.
