Answer
No. Home equity loans are revolving credit lines. In simple terms, that means you could pay on that for three years and not even touch the principal. I wouldn't do it. Maybe rolling it into a consolidation loan if you have enough equity in your home, but not a HELOC.
Answer
No. You want to avoid "institutionalizing" your debt. In other words, you don't want to spend 15 years on an equity loan paying for a car that you might only have 5-6 years. It really depends on your personal situation. If you have lots of equity in a house, and the monthly payments aren't too much, and you expect that the house will continue to appreciate etc. then MAYBE. But what if interest rates rise (equity loans are usually directly tied to the fed rate), or the housing bubble bursts - then you are stuck with those payments forever. Upside is that the equity loan is tax deductible, car loan is not. Do the math!
Yes, if you have enough equity in one home and want to use it to buy another. Otherwise, no. You cannot use a home equity loan to purchase a home since you have no equity that has accrued.
No. It is home equity line of credit that is secured by your home. You use it to buy things and if you buy too much and can't make the payments the bank can foreclose and take your home.
The loan is considered a liability - The value of the company is the equity.
Most people can not pay the full amount of a home right when they buy it. One must acquire a loan that they can pay off a little each month. Otherwise, they couldn't buy a house.
Normally it is called an Auto Loan if you are using the vehicle as collateral for the loan. But, you can use something else as collateral such as your home, in which case it would be a Home Equity loan.
This will depend on the loan program. In the case of FHA you can still receive the gift of equity from a relative.
No. You must apply for a purchase money mortgage if you do not already own any home. If you already own a property and have enough equity in that property, you can take a home equity loan on that property and use those proceeds to purchase another property.No. You must apply for a purchase money mortgage if you do not already own any home.

Very close. They may buy it for your at a healthy cost above what you may obtain a policy.
No you typically do not unless you have significant equity in your home. Reverse mortgages are typically where you draw down the equity in your home. I am assuming that if your home is in foreclosure that you would have exhausted the equity or the lender would have considered rewriting your loan. There are several resources that can provide you with additional information, I have included them in links for you. If you are stuck, you might want to consider the alternative and try to buy your home back when they do the auction.
This is a very broad question. Here are a couple of general answers. First you can refinance the home after it has been purchased for a "refi-cash out" loan. Equity in the home can be given to you up front and you just finance the upfront money it into your home loan. This is also done as a second and third lien on your mortgage. There are many loan guidelines for this to happen. You will need lots of equity in the house, along with good credit. Another way is to buy the home, fix it up and sell for a profit. Could be adding more square foot as well. Pretty general. Just be careful of any prepayments you have on the lien.
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).
I don't know why it would be. The equity is a valid asset.
