in a way yes. you should sell your home for the market value which is what the home is worth this includes what you paid as a down payment since it lowered the amount that you financed. the only thing that you lose is any closing costs that you must pay plus commissions. you get to keep the difference between what the home is worth and what you still owe.

Can you deduct interest from a personal loan taken for a down payment on a home?

You cannot borrow money for a down payment on a house, the only exception is if the loan is secured against an asset, like 401 k, borrowing against a vehicle that's paid for, from relative or friends When the bank loans money for a house, they've calculated that you won't be able to pay back your loan if you take on more debt, and borrowing the down payment is additional debt. If payments aren't made and they have to repossess the house to sell, often it sells for less than it's worth. So they can sell quickly, and a down payment prevents them from having a loss.

What can you do if you made a down payment on a car but after a week the dealer told you there was a lien on the car and could he be getting a better deal and what are your options?

I believe you can get your down-payment back if you do not have the car. But, if the dealer is doing that to sell the car after you have made a downpayment (depending on what the contract/receipt states) then you mave have legal options against the dealer. Some lawyers have free consults. I would contact a lawyer for free consultation before getting my down-payment back because the dealer may have breached a prior agreement/contract, whether verbally or written. State laws may differ.


Can the equity be used as a down payment?

Equity can only be used as a down payment in limited cases. Close relatives are able to "gift" equity in a purchase, thus eliminating the need for the buyer to bring cash. E.g. A Mother can sell her son a house worth $100k for $80k buy having a purchase price of $100k with a gift of equity of $20K. This in effect is a down payment. Without doing this it would essentially lower the market value of the house to $80K. The appraised value or market value of a house is its purchase price. The argument is that if it was worth anymore it would have sold for that price. So in most cases there can't be equity in the house when purchased because its value is what you paid for it. A second example of where equity can be used to "purchase" a house is with a Land Contract. Technically the house is purchased at the signing of the land contract, however no loan is put in the name of the buyer. After a year or more if the house appraises for more than the agreed land contract price. When the buyer takes out a loan on the property. The "equity" in the property belongs to him and in effect is his down payment.
