What happens when a mortgage defaults after a gift of equity?

The title to the property was transferred to the new owner at below market price. The difference between the transfer price and the fair market value is called a gift of equity and some lenders will allow the borrower to use that amount as a down payment. If there is a default in paying the mortgage the lender will take possession of the property by foreclosure. As with any cash down payment, in the case of a foreclosure the gift of equity is gone. You don't get the down payment back.The title to the property was transferred to the new owner at below market price.

Where does the equity go when refinancing?

You can cash out on your equity, but your payment would be as if it were a new loan at the same amount. You can also opt to apply your equity towards your new mortgage and the result would be a lower montly payment and less debt. If you use your equity towards a new mortgage you can refinance for less time and possibly have a payment around your current payment. EX: A $60,000 @6.75 for 30 years, owned for 4 years with a payment of $540. When refinanced at 5.85% for 15 years the payment only went up to $621. The house will be paid off 11 years sooner. This is with a better interest rate and with removing the private mortgage insurance.


Can a home equity loan on one house be transferred to a new loan for a new house?

No


Can you use a home equity loan on a current property originally taken out for remodeling for a down payment on a new property?

You should ask your banker or mortgage lender if you can do that. If your debt to income ratio is to high you will be declined for a loan. I know with our money we were better off paying our car loans that got us a better interest rate then putting down a down payment and having debt we would have had a bigger interest rate. Now, if your other house is paid down enough where you will still come out ahead after paying back the home equity then it probably wouldn't matter.

Will you have instant equity when you build a new house?

Not necessarily, it depends on the market and the price of homes around yours. The only way to know is lets say you built a house that cost you 300,000 and your appraisal for the bank is the same amount, then no equity yet. If the appraisal is 400,000 the you have 100,000 worth of equity right away. When you start paying down the loan on the house that is equity too, for the amount you've paid off and the worth of the house.


Can you use home equity to purchase another home?

Possibly. If you have enough equity in your current home to do a "Cash-Out Refinance" or "Home Equity Loan" to pay the total cost of the new home, then the answer is yes. However, you cannot use the current equity in your home for a down payment on the new home. These loans used to exist (they were called "Bridge Loans"), but I am not aware of any lenders that offer Bridge Loans at this time.

Should you wait to sell your home or pay off home equity loan Before and buy a new one with loan?

I'm not sure your question makes sense. If you sell your home, your home equity loan has to be paid off. If the sale of your house doesn't fulfill your debt, you are "underwater" and in a serious financial crisis - you shouldn't be thinking about getting a new home! Otherwise the sale of your house should leave you with some money at the least, and this should be enough for a decent down payment on a new home. Under no circumstances should you be getting a mortage on two houses at once, unless you are extremely secure in your financial situation (which, in these times, is rather unlikely).
