Resources for people struggling to make their home equity loan payments are simple to find. Just to name a couple, someone can make a loan modification that themselves and their loan servicer agree upon, and as last resort someone may resort to personal bankruptcy although the results are long-lasting and far-reaching. They may also look into talking to someone locally about the options available to help their personal struggle.

What is the difference between a home equity loan and a reverse mortgage loan?

A home equity loan (HEL), also known as a second mortgage, is similar to a traditional mortgage in that the person will get a lump sum (less fees) and pay back that money (plus interest) over ten to thirty years (most home equity loans are for ten years). A reverse mortgage (RM) allows an individual who owns their home outright (no mortgages, home equity loans or home equity lines of credit attached to the home) to receive monthly payments that tap on the equity of the home, and those payments don't have to be repaid until the home is sold, the recipient dies or specific conditions are broken. Key difference between these types of loans are as follows: * HEL requires income and monthly payments to be made, RM pays you monthly * RM takes into account the borrower's age, HEL does not * HEL has a fixed term, RM has a variable term * Failure to pay HEL can result in foreclosure, RM does not * HEL may allow lending up to 125% of home value, RM is limited to far less

Is it wise to get a home equity loan to buy a new car?

Answer No. Home equity loans are revolving credit lines. In simple terms, that means you could pay on that for three years and not even touch the principal. I wouldn't do it. Maybe rolling it into a consolidation loan if you have enough equity in your home, but not a HELOC. Answer No. You want to avoid "institutionalizing" your debt. In other words, you don't want to spend 15 years on an equity loan paying for a car that you might only have 5-6 years. It really depends on your personal situation. If you have lots of equity in a house, and the monthly payments aren't too much, and you expect that the house will continue to appreciate etc. then MAYBE. But what if interest rates rise (equity loans are usually directly tied to the fed rate), or the housing bubble bursts - then you are stuck with those payments forever. Upside is that the equity loan is tax deductible, car loan is not. Do the math!


Why is accounting differenciating between assets and equity?

Equity is the proportion of those assets you own, compared to the debt on those assets. An example would be a house. A house is an asset. The equity is the amount of the mortgage that is paid off plus any appreciation the value of the house. Same with a company. Its the difference between what you own and the debt or liabilities. Assets minus liabilities equals equity. You have equity in assets.
