A closed-end home equity loan could be a great source of funds for a number of reasons: no change in an existing first mortgage, the possibility of tax deductible interest (consult your tax advisor), low interest rates, no mortgage insurance required, and you can use the loan for any purpose. A Home Equity Loan is the right choice for things like debt consolidation and single-purpose purchases. These purchases could include: automobiles, medical bills, college tuition, and even extra cash.
