No matter
what others have told you, borrowing against your home's equity
is still possible. There are several lenders who will lend you
money regardless of your credit or your past history.
When
you apply for a equity loan, there are three major things the
lender will look at; credit, income, and the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. If
you are less than 2 months behind, then your credit is probably
still acceptable. If you are more than 2 months behind, you
will need to show better income and loan-to-value to qualify.
Here
are the basic minimum guidelines to qualify for a foreclosure
equity loan from a traditional lender:
Loan
amount must be a minimum of $75,000
Your DTI ratio must be less than 55%
Loan-to-value ratiomust be less than 70% |
