Homeowners with Federal National Mortgage Association mortgages may be able to obtain considerable amounts of cash by trading in their mortgages. How it works: They receive a new mortgage worth up to 90% of the home's current market value, at a rate almost always well below prevailing rates. Those whose homes have appreciated stand to receive significant amounts. To determine eligibility: Check with the mortgage holder.
Should you take out a Personal Loan?
If you're unsure about whether or not to take out a new personal loan, this
basic calculation can be helpful.
1. Add all sources of income for a month.
2. Total all monthly living expenses and your savings requirements, mortgage,
debt, and insurance payments.
3. Avoid a loan that requires monthly payments that are bigger than the balance
left when you subtract expenditures from monthly income.
Best collateral for a bank loan: Cash value of life insurance policies, certificates
of deposit, U.S. government securities (90% of value), stocks (70% of market
value), and mutual fund shares (40% of market value).
Frequently Over looked loan Sources…
Executives can borrow funds from their vested accounts in a qualified company retirement plan.
Requirements:
(1) The plan must specifically provide that such loans are
available to all plan participants.
(2) The loans must be genuine and bear a reasonable rate of
interest.
(3) Loans may not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or the greater
of $10,000 or one-half accrued benefits.
(4) Loans must be repaid within 5 years (except for loans to
finance a personal residence). (The $50,000 limit on plan loans is reduced by
the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during the prior 12 months.)
Broker loans. Instead of selling stock, consider using it
as collateral for a broker's loan.
Since brokers borrow at wholesale from bunks, you'll probably get money closer
to the prime. And there are no compensating balances.
Certificate of deposit (CD) loan. You need money, but your
CD isn't due yet. Instead of cashing it in, use it as collateral for a loan.
The interest charge is usually 2 percentage points above the rate paid by the
certificate. These 2 points, divided by a short period of time, don't amount
to much.
