How does home equity loan qualification works? My house is worth around 0,000 – 0,000 and my mortgage balance on it is around 0,000 with payments at roughly 00.
What if I want to qualify for home equity loan or home equity line of credit say for 100.000 grand. How does the whole qualification thing works? What do lenders look at, how they choose?
Would appreciate any help. Helpful links are excellent too if you know any resources!
Thanks!

First, you will need to get a new appraisal on your house. If your house does appraise in the $300K range, then on that basis, you will qualify for the $100K home equity. Next, the bank will look at your income, employment, etc., just like a regular mortgage. If you are approved, you will go through the same type of closing you went through when you took out your original mortgage. There is really nothing different between a home equity and a first mortgage when it comes to qualifying/applying. The only real difference is on the side of the lender who has to file a secondary lien against the house rather than a primary lien (meaning the home equity lender gets paid second if you default).
