what are the normal qualifications to get a home equity loan for debt consolidation?...approximate home value $270,000.00, 1st mortgage balance is $192,802. need approximately $27,000 to payoff unsecured debt. i have a few slow pays showing up on my credit report, but everything is current now. credit score should be in the area of 640. are there lenders out there who would do this home equity loan? if so at what approximate rate? will they finance for 15 yrs?
In most cases you will need a credit score of at least 660 to obtain a 2nd mortgage. If your figures are correct you should refinance and get cash out that way.

Hi SANDY,

With the credit score that you have mentioned, I think you will be able to get a home equity loan. You can contact your current lender and check out if he will be able to offer you a home equity loan or not. You can also speak to few other lenders and check out the type of rates and terms they are offering.

This community also has a large number of lenders. You can seek a no obligation free loan quote from them. This will help you know the type of rates and terms you may receive.
