I am assuming you mean that you own the house outright. The answer (provided you own the home without a mortgage) is yes. Home equity loans are designed for people who wish to borrow against the equity in the home. Remember, you have to own the home in order to use equity. This means your name has to be on the deed.

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.
