If you own a home with equity, a 2nd mortgage would be better since the interest can be a deduction on your taxes. If you have no equity--in other words you mortgaged 100% of the property's worth, it does not mean you can't do an equity loan but the interest won't be deductable. If you don't own any real estate, then any loan with the lowest interest would best suit your needs.

The max loan to value amount based on your credit score would be 100% financing.

There are also alternative means of documentation and mortgage programs if you do need to qualify for more money.


How do you have a good credit score?

The easiest way is to borrow money in a variety of different ways (e.g. credit cards, car loan, store revolving credit, student loan, mortgage) and always pay on schedule on all these loans. Do not keep the balance on credit cards too close to their credit limits. Also if you rent an apartment always pay your rent on time.However remember that every time you open a new credit card or loan account your credit score will drop for several months, so avoid doing too much credit activity at one time.
