Trina O asked:


My husband and I want to take about $15,000 to pay off debt and renovate our home, which we just purchased last July. Our current interest rate is 7.25% and we owe about 65k on our home that appraised at 100k. The problem is that our credit is not great and not well established. Which would be the best option for us, home equity loan or refinance?
