Simplest home equity mortgage loans to qualify for

This article will tell you which types of home equity mortgage loans are the simplest to qualify for.

Choose a type of home equity mortgage loan to learn about:

• Long term home equity mortgage loan
• Fixed rate home equity mortgage loan
• Closed home equity mortgage loan
• Combo of all of the above

Long term home equity mortgage loan

A long term home equity loan is much simpler to qualify for than a short term loan. What is a long term home equity loan? It's a loan that you can keep from 6 years up to 18 years. (BTW: I've seen a long term loan that was 25 years in length: and that's the l o n g e s t term I've seen, and it's not too common).

Why is a long term home equity loan simpler to qualify for? Well, with a short term home equity loan you get a lower rate - but like other "special" types of home equity loans, it's not so simple to qualify for. Lender's will be more strict about what they consider "good income" or "good credit" or "good equity" if you want a short term for your mortgage-loan.

If you want to qualify for a home equity mortgage loan without too much hassle, going for a long term is a great war-plan. You don't have to go for a 25 year term - just make it 6 to 10 years - and you'll find it's not too hard to qualify for!

Fixed rate home equity mortgage loan

The fixed rate loan is one of the simpler types of home equity mortgage loans to qualify for. When you ask for a more 'special' type of home equity loan, like the 'adjustable rate' home equity loan for example, you have to have to meet higher qualification standard.

To be able to qualify for most home equity mortgage loans, in general, you have to have either good income, good credit or a good nice amount of equity that you'll be leaving in your home property.

So, to qualify for a special type of equity loan, like the "adjustable rate home equity loan " - you'd have to have a larger income or gooder credit or a bigger amount of equity in your home than you would to qualify for the fixed rate home equity loan.

So if you want a home equity loan that's easy to qualify for, the fixed rate home equity mortgage is a good choice for you.

Closed home equity mortgage loan

The closed home equity loan is another type of mortgage-loan that's simpler to qualify for.

When you get a closed home equity mortgage loan, it means you're getting a loan that you don't have free prepayment or payout options for. Which means: if you have a closed home equity mortgage loan, and you wanted to suddenly pay off a big chunk of it, or completely pay it all off before your mortgage term was up - you'd have to pay a financial penalty (a fee) to your lender for doing that.

But the greater advantage of the closed home equity mortgage loan, is that it can be much simpler to qualify for than it's opposite, which is the open mortgage loan. An "open" home equity loan allows you to make prepayments or payout your loan for free. But you need better income/credit/equity to qualify for an "open" mortgage than you need to qualify for a closed home equity loan.

So, unless you desperately want the option to "pay-off your home equity loan whenever you want for free" - then choose to benefit from the closed home equity loan 's easier qualification standards.

And the term length would be anywhere from 10 years to 18 years (or 25 if you really wanted). And you would have to pay a fee if you paid off a chunk, or all of your home equity loan before that term was up. BUT - It'd be a type of home equity mortgage loan that's divinely simple to qualify for!
