Which would be better.to refinance w/cash out or a home equity loan?

Doogie asked:


Here’s the info. We want to put an addition onto our home. We purchased it new in 2002 for $119,000 and we borrowed $26,000 on our original loan which is a 5/1 ARM. In our current market area, our home would sell for between $150K and $160K. We will need $50K to do the addition. Which is the best route for us: to refinance and get the $50K or get a home equity loan or home equity Line-of-Credit? It’s all confusing and I know there are pros and cons to each product. HELP!!!! Thanks in advance!
Sorry Frazure, but my debt load is minimal and my credit score is excellent…take your advertisment elsewhere.

Anyone take a personal loan to pay off credit cards?

Karl asked:


I was wondering if anyone took a personal bank loan in order to pay off their credit card balances? Do banks actually offer a credit card consolidation loans yet and for that purpose only? From what I understand this would be better than a 401K loan. Forget the home equity loan. Also heard enough about those so called “credit card repair companies” that they are not worth it. About 16k owed and I am sick and tired of their finance charges , late fees, etc. Want rid them once and for all!

mommyme asked:


I was just about to get a home equity loan, however most of the advice I got on here said no. We checked on it an the interest rates are variable- which I dont like. Anyway we decided to try the Dave Ramsey system(cut up credit cards, pay cash etc). If anyone has any advice on how to do this more quickly etc please Help.
