raizaI refinance my home in MA during 2007 at 6.125%. My balance is 226K for another 25 years.PHH morgage is offering me refinance again via HARP at 4.5 to 5% paying myself closing cost and apraisal.Should I hear their offer?
Pianno you will not have to pay it off.but and it is a big but! banks have been trying very hard to titgehn up their exposures to risks, and having a equity line of credit now days is considered a risk.so the holder of second loan (equity line) may not agree for subordination,even though they are the same bank. they may also not allow you to take cash out. unless there is substantial equity exist.your best chance is going to be refinancing with the same lender,and before spending any money,you need to make certain that the line of credit holder is willing to subordinate.
YuichiYes, you can. I just did this with my Wells Fargo mortgage. It was my chioce when I refinanced my mortgage whether I wanted to roll in my home equity line or keep it open. I had a decent rate (but not as great as yours wow!) and I chose to keep it open. The bank made no big deal out of it one way or the other, and although I have pretty good credit, I had a very large balance on it, more than $350k.
