I have 13 thousand available in my home equity. That will somewhat get me out of debt. If I take this out does my morgage payments go up? Also I want to add on in the spring about a 30 thousand dollar addition. Will I be able to borrow more money for my addiction come spring? I’m really undecided. How does a home equity works?
My house is worth more then my mortgage loan. Now I know my mortgage will go up when I add on to my house. I was going to use this home equity loan to pay off my credit card debit. Then I could manage to give my mortgage more money. Would that be a smart move?
Your home is not a bank, but too many people have fallen into thinking equity is there for the spending. Do some research about this. http://money.cnn.com/2006/11/03/real_estate/home_equity/index.htm
The thing about your question that scared me is that you owe more than $13,000 in debt, but you want to put another $30,000 into your house. Why not work on paying off your debt first? Also, before adding an addition, consult with a real estate appraiser to make sure you don’t over-improve your house for your area.
Yes your payment will go up depending on the loan amount that you have out. You will not be able to borrow more than what your house is worth so keep that in mind when wanting to borrow more. Dont get in over your head.

A home equity loan (sometimes abbreviated HEL) is a type of loan in which the borrower uses the equity in their home as collateral. These loans are sometimes useful to help finance major home repairs, medical bills or college education. A home equity loan creates a lien against the borrower’s house, and reduces actual home equity.
Home equity loans are most commonly second position liens (second trust deed), although they can be held in first or, less commonly, third position. Most home equity loans require good to excellent credit history, and reasonable loan-to-value and combined loan-to-value ratios. Home equity loans come in two types, closed end and open end.
Both are usually referred to as second mortgages, because they are secured against the value of the property, just like a traditional mortgage. Home equity loans and lines of credit are usually, but not always, for a shorter term than first mortgages. In the United States, it is sometimes possible to deduct home equity loan interest on one’s personal income taxes.
The minimum monthly payment can be as low as only the interest that is due.
