Q&A: Are interests from a loan to update a roof tax deductible?

Question by gtmds: Are interests from a loan to update a roof tax deductible?
I live in Florida-US and am updating the old roof of my home with a completely new one before the next hurricane season. I assume that this won’t be a tax deductible expense if I pay for it directly, but would I be able to deduct interests of a home equity loan used towards this renovation?

What are our home loan options?

Question by reese: What are our home loan options?
My husband and I are looking to buy a home in the very near future but we’re having trouble finding the right loan. My husband has spoken with a loan officer (she may be a mortgage broker, I’m unsure) who says he cannot get a loan right now because he has a loan on a condo he purchased just over a year ago.

Can they foreclose if I only default on my home equity loan, not my first or second mortgage?

Question by keithgle: Can they foreclose if I only default on my home equity loan, not my first or second mortgage?
I’m being forced to relocate for my job, and I’m trying to avoid foreclosure or a short sale- I’d like to try to keep current on as much of my debt as possible. My home is currently worth less than half of what I owe (in florida). I do not qualify for refinancing because ratio of the value of the house to loan value. The notes are held by Freddie Mac. I am hoping that they will write a portion off, with the understanding that I’m still paying on a value far higher than I could sell for. (Mortgages worth $ 17K, HELOC of $ 45K, current home resale value ~$ 110K. I just want to be able to rent it and keep my head above water. Help.

what happens in a home equity default when the 1st mortgage is current?

Question by crisislooming: what happens in a home equity default when the 1st mortgage is current?
If I can not pay a home equity line of credit with one bank but I continue to pay the 1st mortgage what action does the home equity line of credit holder take? Both loans are up to date, but I will be unable to pay the HELOC much longer. I do not live in the property in question. It is vacant and with a realtor but it is in Florida and the value is dropping almost daily due to the crisis in the real estate market in florida. Should I let the banks forclose?

Instant Equity for Home Loan Remodeling

FOXBORO, MA (PRWEB) October 26, 2006

Easy Apps Mortgage, a mortgage broker based in Foxboro, MA, with offices in Florida, is working with selected wholesale lenders who are now offering homeowners instant equity in their home for remodeling projects. The announcement was made by company president Robert David.

When a home owner decides to remodel or add on to their existing home, many home owners look to acquire additional financing for their project. Most lenders will lend funds based on the current equity in the home. With properties values flatting, or in some cases, declining, it is difficult for many home owners to get the needed financing.
