seen ads for interest-only loans. While this type of loan is
beneficial for some homebuyers, other homebuyers might regret

If you bought your home a few years back when annual interest
rates were 12 percent, refinancing now can save you a great deal
of money over the term of the mortgage. Or you might be able to

A secured home loan differs from an unsecured loan in that the
secured loan borrows against one's home as collateral, thereby
reducing the risk to the lender.
As such, secured home loans often offer better interest rates

defaulting on these loans can have greater consequences, such as
fines, or even possible repossession of the home originally put
up as the secured collateral (subject to the amount of the loan,
of course).

Home Equity Loans
Over the past few years many Americans have established lines of
credit secured by the equity in their homes. This has allowed
them to expand their purchasing power while all too often not
saving even one dime. For marginal borrowers this can turn out
to be highly risky as it exposes these families to the loss of
their homes. Lenders tend to quickly change from best friend to
worst foe in times of financial crisis and need and will "take
it away if you can't pay".
