Home equity loans allow homowners to borrow against the accumulated equity (the market value less outstanding debts) in their home. You secure the loan by a second mortgage.

This is probably not very wise method of securing a loan,'cause you end up mortgaging the new property as well as the your accumulated equity.

You are absolutely spot on - a second mortgage should not be used for daily expenses or buying luxury items. One who does that is likely to spiral into debts.

I have to disagree, a second mortgage may be a better way to consolidate debt. The interest can be declared on your taxes as suppose to a credit card car loan etc.

You are absolutely correct to say that it is a good loan consolidation instrument because of lower interest rate. My objection to incur further fresh debt through 2nd mortgage as it put the property in jeopardy |
