125% Equity Home Loans




Banking on the Future!

If you are a homeowner in need of a home equity loan, but you have not yet built up any equity in your home, there is a popular option for you. A 125 percent equity home loan may be the answer.

A 125 percent equity home loan is a second mortgage loan that allows you to borrow up to 25% more than the value of your home. For example, if your home is worth $200,000 and you owe $200,000 on the mortgage, this loan program would allow you to still borrow up to $50,000.

The 125 percent equity home loan is offered by various online lenders. Each lender has their own qualification and loan term guidelines, but generally this is a credit score driven loan program. Credit score driven means that you have to have a certain credit score to qualify for the loan. In addition, your credit score usually determines the maximum loan amount you may qualify for and the maximum cash in hand you may receive. Also, some 125 percent equity home loan lenders may require seasoning on the length of time you have lived in your home. Three months is normally the minimum.

When it comes to a property appraisal, most 125 percent home equity loan lenders do not require you to obtain one. Generally, they will use the purchase price of your home as the value if you have lived in your residence for 12 months or less. If you have lived in your home over 12 months, a recent tax assessment, simple drive-by appraisal, or automated value model (avm) can be used. An avm is a computer generated assessment of your home's value based on recent home sales of comparable houses in your neighborhood.

Why do lenders take the risk of offering 125 percent home equity loans? They lend to homeowners with higher credit scores. They are banking on the future - expecting the value of the home to rise over time covering the deficit between the current home value and the loan amount. They can charge higher interest rates than typical of first mortgages.

Mortgage Decisions in as little as 6 Minutes!
How to Use These Loans - Home owners should think carefully before getting a second mortgage of this type. Make sure the reason why you are getting this loan is a good one. Why? Because your debt risk (the 125% loan plus your first mortage) becomes greater than the assest (the value of your home) supporting the loan. Borrowers typically use 125% loans for such purposes as:

  • Paying off high interest rate credit cards. This frees up cash flow and turns a non-tax-deductable debt into a tax-deductable debt.
  • Home improvements. A home improvement can raise the value of the home to match the additional debt load.
  • Business investment. Investing the borrowed money into a business that will create the extra revenue to make the payments.
  • Higher education. Better education can lead to a higher paying job.
It is not recommended that you use this type of loan for vacations or frivolous uses, unless your monthly income can easily manage the additional monthly payments.
