That depends on how low your income is and what your debt ratio is. It is still possible to save yourself from foreclosure if you can afford a normal mortgage payment. There is always the option to sell the home as well... but if you want to keep the home, you should probably try to qualify for a refinance loan.

Can you get a home equity loan without documenting your income?

No. Even though a home equity loan is backed by the value of one's principal residence, the individual's income must be substantial enough (after other payments) to cover the principal and interest payments associated with the home equity loan. If income cannot/will not be documented, no lender will approve a home equity loan.


If you own the home and take out Home Equity Loan can you just not make payments and forfeit the house?

This idea sounds like fraud, since you would be signing for a loan that you do not intend to pay. The total of the mortgage and the equity loan together may not exceed the appraised value of the home. In addition, if your house is foreclosed upon and the bank forgives any portion of the amount that is owed, there will be income taxes.


Will the excess amount in foreclosing real estate mortgage given to th mortgage or not?

I'm not sure this question was complete, but the answer is that any excess equity after a property is foreclosed will go to the prior homeowner. In other words, if a home is foreclosed and the home sells at auction for more than was owed to the bank, the excess will go to the homeowner who was foreclosed upon. Keep in mind many fees and charges may be attached to a foreclosure, so the equity may be limited.

What happens when your home is in foreclosure and you have an equity line of credit on this home?

The line of credit is no longer usable and the bank that gave you the line of equity will be asking you to pay the balance. The mortgage holder will also be asking for the deficiency after the foreclosure auction. Alternatively, the banks may send you a 1099 early next year so you will owe taxes on the "forgiven" balance. Get a good bankruptcy lawyer. The law may change in this area when Congress comes back into session.
