Easy Home Equity Loan

I have an investment property that I rent out to a tenant in Georgia. I currently am up to date on my first equity line that I have out on the property, but my second line has become past due by almost 30 days and lender has put a hold on the account. Even when I try to make payments on the account they do not let me due to some reason. I have consulted with others who have loans from this lender and they say that a freeze has been placed on their accounts as well (approx 30 others). In the event that that I am unable to pay the loan in its entirely if recalled by the lender or if the lender does not accept payments causing it to go into foreclosure, how will this affect my first mortgage, tenant, and me personally. Can I just allow it to be foreclosed and wash my hands of it, taking the hit on my credit? Or can the lenders sue me for anything? Also if the bank does decide to foreclose will that require me to pay any type of legal fees?

I need to find a hard money lender or private investor for a ,000 loan. I want to use the equity in home as the basis for the loan. The house is worth about 0,000 and I owe ,000 on the mortgage. I do not qualify for a traditional mortgage because of self employment income. I know I will not have trouble paying this off even with a high interest rate. Looking for a short term like 1 year only. I have good credit scores. I was wondering where I can get a list of lenders/investors that may do this type of loan. Any suggestions?

I have been paying on my 30 fixed mortgage for 8 years now. Haven’t been late with a payment since 2006, but had a few late payments in ’05-’06 when my wife lost her job following a move to a different state. My credit is "good" at just under 700, last time I checked (last Aug). The mortgage I currently have is a VA loan, but it is at 7%!
I only want to shorten the term to a 15 year mortgage and continue paying about the same, or even a little more monthly, but at a reasonable interest rate (~5%). I just want to build up equity faster and pay it off sooner. I’m NOT trying to reduce payments or get a consolidation loan/line of credit.
One other key factor is that I no longer live in the home. It is a rental (single family home) which I maintain very well.
Bank of America won’t budge on refinancing or renegotiating the rate. I paid 8k for the house (brand new home) and owe just under 0k. I think the house would likely appraise for 0 – 5K.
Problem is that I get all of this junk mail which appear to be "bait and switch" tactics from nefarious lenders. I want a legitimate company to give me a reasonable loan with no hassle. Is that too much to ask?

SO…you are crying RACISM for being given a chance to own a home and FAILING because you did not pay your bills? How is this apartheid?
This all goes back to being treated EQUALLY. It is not MY fault that you chose to buy something you could not afford. Whites do it too. It is just stupidity and greed…nothing else.

"People of color are more than three times more likely to have subprime loans," concluded the organization United for a Fair Economy in a recent report which estimated that minorities have seen between 163 billion and 278 billion dollars of their equity go up in smoke since 2000.
The city has responded by suing lenders, accusing them of targeting black borrowers and steering them to the loans granted with few formalities and at hefty interest rates to people with poor credit histories.

Here’s what’s going on: We purchased a single family home in 11/07 at a 6.5% interest rate for 30 years (conventional loan.) It was our 1st time purchasing-we just went thru the motions. Anyhow, I have wanted to refi for a lower rate and term, but we have a little negative equity and lenders will only lend 90% with PMI. That’s quite a bit of money for us to fork out (not including the thousands of dollars to actually refi), so I say forget the refi & figure out what I need to pay each month to pay this loan off in 15 years. Pretty much there are 2 equations I’d like to know-

1) How much do I need to pay each month to pay my loan off in 180 payments/months?

2) How much do I need to pay each month to pay off my loan in 160 payments/months?

Let’s presume I’m paying the 1st of every month. I know that interest rate will change my p/o greatly if I vary from the 1st of the month plan-no plans to do that.

I am just looking for the most accurate estimate I can get, so please ask me any questions if I am missing information, I will happily update my question and you can update your answer.

Assuming homeowner’s insurance does not change-78/yr
Assuming taxes do not change-8/yr
Current loan balance 3,500

Here’s a copy of my mortgage site based on a 50(ish) payment I made this month:

Your payment is comprised of the
following amounts:
Principal and Interest 8.48
County Tax: .57
PMI Escrow: .41
Hazard Escrow: .17
Overage/Shortage: .02

3) What’s Hazard Escrow????? Geez.
Lauren, you are an asset to Y! Answers! Thanks for your time & information!

I have an 80/20 loan. The 80 is an ARM with a 10 yr libor that had a 6.25% that went to an 8.25% in Feb. The other loan is a 30 yr fixed with an 8.25% rate. My husband is active duty military, so we qualify for the SCRA which locks us in at a 6% rate for as long as he remains active duty, which he intend to do for 20 years. Because we moved for his job, we had to rent out our townhome due to decreasing mortgage prices. We want to refinance to lock in our interest rates, esp since they are now in the 5.75% ranges and make our loans just one. We were told by our lenders (citi) that we have no equity in our home, therefore do now qualify to combine loans, and that refinancing cost will be around 5,000. Also it will be different considering the home is now an "investment" since it’s being rented. So my ? is do we keep the loan we have since we’re under the SCRA, or do we act now and go for rates that are low.And if so, how do we go about gettin a loan that doesnt require much to put down
