How soon after buying a home can you obtain a home equity loan?

You can get a home equity loan immediately. In fact, some lenders are packaging home equity loans or credit lines as a combo with the closing on the first mortgage. Of course, to get a home equity loan you have to have some home equity...i.e. a market value greater than the first mortgage.


Can you take out a home equity loan without equity in your house?

A home equity loan is a mortgage based on the value of your home that exceeds any outstanding mortgages. Your equity is the value of your home that is actually paid for. If your home is fair market valued at $100,000 and there is an outstanding mortgage in the amount of $40,000 then you have $60,000 in equity. However, note that due to costs, fees and fluctuating home values a lender will generally not loan the full amount of equity but something less than the fair market difference. In your case, having no equity in the home means that you have nothing to offer the lender as collateral and the lender has no reason to loan you any money. No equity means no home equity loan.

Difference between debt market and equity market?

'''First, some definitions''' The debt market is the market where debt instruments are traded. Debt instruments are assets that require a fixed payment to the holder, usually with interest. Examples of debt instruments include bonds (government or corporate) and mortgages. The equity market (often referred to as the stock market) is the market for trading equity instruments. Stocks are securities that are a claim on the earnings and assets of a corporation (Mishkin 1998). An example of an equity instrument would be common stock shares, such as those traded on the New York Stock Exchange. '''How are debt instruments different from equity instruments?''' There are important differences between stocks and bonds. Let me highlight several of them: # Equity financing allows a company to acquire funds (often for investment) without incurring debt. On the other hand, issuing a bond does increase the debt burden of the bond issuer because contractual interest payments must be paid- unlike dividends, they cannot be reduced or suspended. # Those who purchase equity instruments (stocks) gain ownership of the business whose shares they hold (in other words, they gain the right to vote on the issues important to the firm). In addition, equity holders have claims on the future earnings of the firm. In contrast, bondholders do not gain ownership in the business or have any claims to the future profits of the borrower. The borrower's only obligation is to repay the loan with interest. # Bonds are considered to be less risky investments for at least two reasons. First, bond market returns are less volatile than stock market returns. Second, should the company run into trouble, bondholders are paid first, before other expenses are paid. Shareholders are less likely to receive any compensation in this scenario.


How do I figure the amount of equity in my home?

To calculate the equity value you must know the current market price of your home and the remaining debt owed. Subtract the debt owed from the current market price to obtain the equity value of your home. This number may be negative, meaning you are "upside-down," owing more money than the home is worth.
