I bought a house 6 months ago before I sold my condo. I borrowed the money from my brother for the new home until the condo sold. I have a written contract and have been paying interest. He is starting to get nervous, so I would like to take out a mortgage for the home to pay him back. Would this be a refinance or a home equity loan? Also, when the condo sells, I expect to still have a mortgage of about $40,000. Assuming I take out a new mortgage now on the house, when I pay 3/4ths of the loan amount off in one lump sum, will my monthly payments decrease or will the monthly payment amount stay the same, but the loan be paid off more quickly?

Is It A Refinance Or Home Equity Loan?
Monday, May 25th, 2009Home Equity Loan Or Refinance Existing Home Loan?
Friday, May 1st, 2009My husband and I are looking into a home equity loan or refinancing our existing home loan. We own a doublewide on 4 1/2 acres that has been converted to real property.
Which is better? A home equity loan, or refinance our existing loan? Where do we start? What should we know? And what we should be careful of?
