    I didn’t achieve financial freedom until I turned 40. As a US citizen, I raised capital by taking out a home equity loan. The interest rate was much lower than other loans, which made it a smart choice. With patience and discipline, I reinvested my earnings and avoided impulsive decisions. This strategy helped me grow my wealth, eventually allowing me to buy a new home and a car. If you’re looking to raise capital and achieve financial freedom, consider this approach

    My wife and I applied for a HELOC with BOA and were denied, We have about 125,000 in equity My score is 735 l,hers was a 653. We wanted to use the HELOC to pay off our $46,000 Credit card debt. We were denied because her score is too low, it’s low because she has high balances on her credit card. The HELOC would resolve that issue.

      This sounds to me like it's more of a BOA insolvency risk problem than your problem, but they just used "it's your issue" as the excuse. Don't take it personally and move on to your end goal. Since you're getting a HELOC look into velocity banking to wipe out that debt.

      Don't feel bad, my own credit union bank did the exact same thing to me. I wanted to pay off 35k credit card debt using our 200k + Equity, denied due to high credit card balance. Seems very counter intuitive on the banks part.

      Are they telling us that we're "not qualified" to offer our house up for collateral? We easily met all of the requirements AND they have the house there, but it's still no good???
      I'm sorry but this is frustrating.

    Pay check stub

    Child support paperwork. Im divorced
    Oh yeah I have 740 plus score
    They wanted me to pay off all my credit cards. Which i did.
    And a couple more thinks they are looking for. And Im using my credit union that I've been a member for 20 plus years. So these UA-cam videos, in my opinion barely scratch the surface of real deep seated information. Basically its like a credit card. Debt 2 income is important. Good luck

      That would be impossible on this topic because it depends on the lender, as I stated in this video and most others. Heloc is less regulated than a conventional mortgage so each lender has different timelines, credit requirements, and paperwork requirements.

    I HAD a $50k HEOC from a credit union - my late husband and I used it to buy 2 vehicles. We always paid back what we owed in several months time. My husband died in 2014 and then the credit union wanted me to 'prove' my income to maintain the HELOC. I should have done that but I said just cancel it. NOW I think I want an HELOC. I have a $2 million dollar mortgage free home. My credit score must be excellent I have not checked - but I have NO debt and always pay my bills on time. In In California. What will the fees be...?

    We have at least $150K-200K equity. Excellent Credit (over 750). However, our credit union said to get the HELOC, we have to pay off loans WITH the HELOC! So basically they want to make sure we spend the money with them - with a much higher interest rate than the loans they want to consolidate under the HELOC! So credit score does not matter.

    • @Go-Getter
      @Go-Getter 8 місяців тому +2

      Credit score does matter because with bad credit they wouldn't even allow you to consolidate your debt. In order for them to approve you, your DTI has to meet their criteria, if it doesn't then they'll have to consolidate your debt to get it down.
