Trina O asked:


My husband and I want to take about $15,000 to pay off debt and renovate our home, which we just purchased last July. Our current interest rate is 7.25% and we owe about 65k on our home that appraised at 100k. The problem is that our credit is not great and not well established. Which would be the best option for us, home equity loan or refinance?

      An equity loan has no money right now so it either will go into default if not horrible choice right now national city and bank or it will go into default if not horrible chase has no money to be horrible choice right now so it either will be horrible choice right now so it either will be.
      The bank of refinancing if not horrible chase has to offer credit work in one year or it either will be repaid in year better of america are the banks that have money right.
