BamaboynTN asked:


I’m wanting to add on to my home but I’ve never used a home equity loan. I have used the refinance method where you borrow a little extra to add on. What would be the best now, with the way the economy is and the interest rates unstable?

      I think a home equity interest rate would be higher. But it would depend on how long you borrow the $ for.

      why not do both!

      Seriously… you can refinance at a lower rate… lock it in, and maybe leverage some of your equity at the same time.

      This depends on the conditions of the home loan. If one can make extra repayments without penalty then the lower interest rate is better. The only positive of equity loan one can borrow up to the equity of the property ie if in the future one needs more money its easier to access the cash without having to refinance. The decision is depends what one future plans are! The big downside of an equity loan is the temptation of being to be able to get more cash on a whim.
