Mr Mortgage talks about Home Equity Lines of Credit and the big banks exposure. These loans are toxic…almost a total write down. Can lenders foreclosure if you do not pay? Will they offer you a great deal on a loan buyout? Are you in jeapordy of losing your access to the credit on the line? Banks may try to freeze it! This is a must-watch.

    Oh I forgot to ask, …
    Oh I forgot to ask, if I’m paying 5.25% on my original mortgage of $150,000 and now my balance is $122,000 when my VA adjustable loan goes up, whats it go up to? I was under the impression it might go up 1% point a year and so (in my thinking) I thought I might need to pay 6% on my current balance of $122,000 which is doable for me, am I wrong? Is there something I dont understand about these loans? Whats my worst case here?

    Scared, can you help?

    Am I screwed? I’m a Veteran and was given a 5.25% VA loan and I’m at the 5 year period where it can adjust. The house we bought was $155,000 our balance is $122,000 and it was appraised at $204,000 we have excellent credit (never paid nothing late, no debt etc) but got turned down only because my house was not “comparable” to houses in my neighborhood… whats that about? I got turned down from my own mortgage company who is financing me already. Is there another reason?

    I don’t necessarily advocate drawing down one’s HELOC like you state. However you do make some excellent points in this video and others you’ve posted. God Bless.

    I own my home for retirement, and if you do not do equity then the banks bleed you through property taxes. Your community is borrowing from the banks - and the banks are involved with the insurance industry and making policies that are not affordable and do not cover minimal. If you want coverage then they try to sell you an umbrella. WHERE IS CONGRESS - SHUT THESE BLOOD SUCKUNG THIEVES DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The banks don’t need to sell or write down HELOCS they just wait for you to pay them at full value. If you don’t you get to declare bankruptcy, you don’t get to buy it back for “$.30″ on the dollar.

    Property will “hit bottom in 3 years” in America? Look at prices to stabilize by 2009, certain parts of the country are NOT seeing “a bubble bursting”. California, Florida have been hit, etc., but a lot of flyover states have seen less than 10% drops.

    And Greenspan. We can debate whether holding rates that low that long contributed X or Y, but Greenspan’s advice to consumers to take ARMs was nothing more than a risk transfer away from his banker buddies to the homeowner.

    back when I yanked my heloc Wachovia was paying 5.5 for one year. Now, it is more difficult but the negative maybe worth negative every month to keep that money in your pocket if you really need it.

    Obviously, given the amount of outstanding HELOCs there must be quite a few “retards” out there. I wouldn’t blame Mr. Mortgage as the messenger here, although I agree it is foolish to use these as an ATM. But it is what it is.

    “In California, these HELOCs are recourse loans.”

    Yep! No walking away from it. For some weird reason people don’t consider this little sticking point.

    In California, these HELOCs are recourse loans. It’s an albatross even if you “walk away.”
    Good luck paying off your HELOC with no home equity growth and a job that leaves you broke just before payday.

    BTW…Fitch blows. They’re just trying to cover their so people will forget their role in this build up. Nice job with the ratings, dudes. You figured out MBIA in early April. Nobody saw THAT coming.

    We never did a heloc either but that doesn’t mean were not going to get screwed just like the everyone else because of all of these foreclosures.
    The banksters greed in all of this was a virus that infected millions, and now the rest of us have been exposed.
    What legitiment equity we have built is now sucked away.

    I don’t have a HELOC. Only a retard would take out a HELOC except for emergency, like having to replace the roof. “Extracting equity” is bullshit.
