| A quick
home equity loan is an accelerated home equity loan. Where
a standard home equity loan or credit line will take a
few weeks to be approved, a quick loan can be processed
and approved in a few days.
This method is used in case of extreme emergencies and
is not recommended for everyone. When you apply for a
quick home equity loan, you are applying for two loans.
A personal loan (with a high interest rate) is immediately
given the borrower while the home equity loan is processed
for approval.
Because of additional risk the lender is taking, interest
rates on these types of loans are significantly higher.
In the event that the equity loan is not granted, the
borrower will be responsible for repaying the personal
loan.
It is highly recommended to wait out the time necessary
to be approved for the standard home equity loan or credit
line. The increased interest rates can add up to thousands
over time.
If you are already in a quick home equity loan with a
high interest rate, you might want to consider a cash
out refinance as an option. You will have to refinance
your existing mortgage and the home equity loan to consolidate
and lower your interest rate.
