No, it does not. But there may be a change in the law allowing a "cram down" of mortgages, as there used to be in bankruptcy.

What is the current car value for refinance?

The current car value for refinance is the estimated worth of your car that will be used as collateral for a new loan.


When property value is the same as you owe on mortgage can you refinance with two loans include Equity?

When you finance (or refinance) using your house as collateral (aka security) the lender is using the available value of your house to get back the loan(s) if you default. If this happens it will cost the lender money (thousands or even tens of thousands) for the process of getting it back. For this reason a prudent lender will only lend you a percentage of the current sale value of the house. If you already have a mortgage, the difference between your property's value and what you owe on it is your equity in the property, and that is the value on which they will lend. You said in your question that the value and the amount owed are the same; this means that your equity is zero, so you would not expect to get an equity line as well as rewriting the original loan.

Can your refinance if you don't have the equity in the house?

It may be possible to refinance your home if you do not have equity. I have done many of these loans. There are currently programs for both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae that will allow you to refinance even if there is not equity. There are Loan to Value limits, but they are well over 100%.


What is Collateral?

Collateral has two meanings: 1) Secondary or associated but not the primary objective or intent. In war civilians may be killed unintentionally in combat. This is called collateral damage. 2) Something of value that is offered as assurance borrowed money will be paid back or a promised action will be carried out is called collateral. People getting a loan to buy a house put the house up as collateral so the lender can be assured he will get his money, either by payment from the borrower or by selling the house if the borrower fails to pay as agreed.

How does collateral on a contract work?

Collateral on a contract can work as follows: The collateral will serve the same as actual payment if payment is not rendered at the end of the contract. Depending on the contractual agreement, the collateral may be held until the debt is satisfied or seized altogether. Check your state laws in reference to Collateral Contracts. Collateral can be offered as 'cash' for a contract. Be careful of this however, if the collateral is appraised at a higher value than that of the contract, you may be liable to surrender the balance of value. If it is appraised to be lower than the contract value, then you will take a loss.
