There could be periods in your life when you require to consider trying to get financing, or a form of credit, to cover sudden bills or expenses, which is much more so with regard to individuals and their families. Even so, together with the situation of the overall economy, getting approved by a lender or credit company is not as easy as it used to be, and you might realize that despite having sufficient income to cover the expense of any more commitments, you may be declined, due to a lot more strict lending standards, and as well loan companies loaning less than they once were.

I am looking for data on the average annual interest rate of Home Equity Loans. From 1970-current would be ideal.

Do you know where I can find this data.

Thank you.

I have been paying on my 30 fixed mortgage for 8 years now. Haven’t been late with a payment since 2006, but had a few late payments in ’05-’06 when my wife lost her job following a move to a different state. My credit is “good” at just under 700, last time I checked (last Aug). The mortgage I currently have is a VA loan, but it is at 7%!
I only want to shorten the term to a 15 year mortgage and continue paying about the same, or even a little more monthly, but at a reasonable interest rate (~5%). I just want to build up equity faster and pay it off sooner. I’m NOT trying to reduce payments or get a consolidation loan/line of credit.
One other key factor is that I no longer live in the home. It is a rental (single family home) which I maintain very well.
Bank of America won’t budge on refinancing or renegotiating the rate. I paid $168k for the house (brand new home) and owe just under $150k. I think the house would likely appraise for $180 – $185K.
Problem is that I get all of this junk mail which appear to be “bait and switch” tactics from nefarious lenders. I want a legitimate company to give me a reasonable loan with no hassle. Is that too much to ask?

My father has recently decided to be a part of my life. He claims to be leaving his home to me when he passes (the same home which he threw my mother, myself, brother and sisters out of on the the streets at an early age). I have heard rumors that he has recently done a reverse mortgage on his house. Is there a way I can find out if he actually has? I just want to know for myself because he always holds this house over my head.
