How to Compare Home Equity Loan Offers
Introduction
When it comes to home equity loans, choosing the right offer can make a big difference in your finances. This guide will walk you through the key factors to consider when comparing home equity loan offers, ensuring you make an informed decision.
1. Understand the Basics
Before diving into comparisons, it’s important to understand what a home equity loan is. It’s a loan where your home is used as collateral, allowing you to borrow against the equity you’ve built up in your home.
2. Interest Rates
Interest rates can vary significantly between lenders. There are two types to consider:
Fixed-Rate Loans: These loans have a constant interest rate for the entire term. This means your monthly payments will remain the same, making budgeting easier.
Variable-Rate Loans: The interest rate can fluctuate based on market conditions, which might lower your initial payments but can increase over time.
3. Loan Terms
Loan terms affect the duration over which you’ll repay the loan and the total interest you’ll pay. Common terms range from 5 to 20 years. A longer term means lower monthly payments but higher overall interest costs.
4. Fees and Costs
Look beyond the interest rate and consider the fees associated with the loan. Common fees include:
Application Fees: Fees for processing your loan application.
Closing Costs: Expenses for services like appraisals, title searches, and attorney fees.
Annual Fees: Some lenders charge annual fees for maintaining the loan.
5. Loan Amount and LTV Ratio
The amount you can borrow depends on your home’s equity and the lender’s policies. Check the lender’s Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, which is the percentage of your home’s value that you can borrow. A lower LTV ratio means you’ll need more equity to qualify for the loan.
6. Repayment Terms
Understand the repayment structure of the loan. Some loans offer a grace period where you only pay interest before starting principal payments. Others might have penalties for early repayment.
7. Customer Service and Reputation
Research the lender’s reputation and customer service. Read reviews and ask for recommendations to ensure you choose a lender with a history of good customer relations and fair practices.
8. Prepayment Penalties
Check if the loan has prepayment penalties. Some lenders charge a fee if you pay off your loan early. This could affect your decision if you plan to pay off the loan faster than scheduled.
9. Flexibility and Features
Some home equity loans offer features like the ability to borrow additional funds or adjust payments. Consider these features if they align with your financial goals.
10. Compare Offers
Once you’ve gathered information on various loans, compare them side by side. Create a checklist to help you evaluate each offer based on the factors mentioned above.
Conclusion
Comparing home equity loan offers involves more than just looking at interest rates. By considering fees, terms, and lender reputation, you can find the best loan for your needs and avoid potential pitfalls.

kampung boy
#superman#clark kent#lois lane#clois#dc comics#jl remix#my art#“kampung” isn't a term exclusively for Malaysians btw! It's meaning can be pretty malleable depending on the SEA country#my parents would refer to areas in the US as a kampung or desa and I think that's the funniest thing#loan words (that sometimes evolve and change meaning) are super common across SEA

So I saw this and…..
This guy is a disgusting, sexist, misogynistic pig and we can NOT let him get back into office.
Could we have better choices? Yes. Could the genocide for Palestine be handled a lot better? YES.
But for my fellow women followers, that guy in the screenshot is THIS guy and should he worm his way back into the White House, THIS guy will be the one dictating what WOMEN should do with their bodies:
youtube
youtube
And don’t forget he was found guilty of RAPING E JEAN CARROLL as WELL as Katie Johnson who was THIRTEEN at the time of the crime:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/
youtube
PLEASE check your voter registration status and make sure you’re registered to vote as we can NOT let this creep BACK into the White House.
The ONLY way to keep him out is through KAMALA HARRIS and NOT a Third Party candidate which ONLY works for LOCAL and NOT PRESIDENTIAL elections.
Thank You 🙏

like, I'm old school web comic culture, I like handmade zines that are stapled, I just want to make comics and tell stories and the ranking system of the popular webcomic sites exhaust me to my core, which is why I like tumblr. I want to draw sulla wound fingering crassus and not think about the metrics.
#that said i'm a pretty avid reader of korean webcomics and chinese webnovels when i have the money for it#unfortunately i have not had the money for that kind of thing in like. six years RIP#its part of why i dont really plan to paywall my stuff. i want to like. connect somehow. and thinking about a historical fiction comic#in terms of 'is this something someone will pay for?' over 'this is something i FELT in my BONES' kills me#and i do not mean that as an exaggeration. for like two years i was an art industry artist and it did serious critical infrastructure damag#to me. i do commissions and freelance gigs to pay the bills but all i want to do is draw comics#and hopefully! i will make comics that people will want to support through patreon or something like that!#because i would love to not think about trying to pay my bills with this but unfortunately i have student loans#also eventually i would like health insurance. tbh. or actually. dental insurance.

I keep getting rejected from conventions that I've been doing for multiple years this year and I heard on Friday that I didn't get Scotland Comic Con, which I've relied on for the last two years to be able to pay my fucking rent over the winter when there's no events, and it makes me want to scream because what the fuck am I supposed to do about it?? I'm making new stuff reasonably regularly, I make really good sales when I get into cons, I go out of my way to be reliable and show up on time and do everything they want exhibitors to do, and it's just flat rejection after flat rejection, sometimes without even the courtesy of a spot on a waiting list or a cursory 'sorry, we got a lot of applicants and we've got limited space'.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I don't think I even am doing anything wrong, I'm just getting repeatedly fucked over by event organisers who just see me as a way of increasing their own ticket sales rather than a human being trying to make a living.
And, like, part of me gets that I've been doing this for a while and folks who are new to it deserve a chance to get a foot in the door, but my ability to be charitable runs out when the biggest convention in the country decides no, we don't have enough room in our fuck-off huge venue for everyone so bye, fuck you, that ~15% of your yearly income that you rely on making at this con is just going up in smoke.
I like doing conventions, I'm good at it and it's fun, but it's getting Really Fucking Stressful to have my ability to eat and pay bills decided increasingly arbitrarily by the same five events companies who don't seem to give the slightest shit about anyone.
And I don't know what to do about it because the reason I'm doing this is because I'm too fucking autistic to get a real job, and I got kicked to the kerb by the benefits lot a few years ago because that system's fucking broken too, and the more effort I put in the less work I seem to actually get and frankly I want to fucking break something
#not having a very good time right now folks#not getting into cons is just a fact of doing this job#but this one has really fucked me over#i don't know why i didn't get it because they don't tell you these things#there's no waiting list no nothing#two years i've done this con. three if you count 2019 as well#it's the biggest one in scotland it's 15 minutes from my flat#i can't afford to get to england so i Need this one to make a living#but fuck me apparently#i am Enormously screwed and i'm still too freaked out to work out what i'm going to do about it#and to cap it all off i had car and computer repairs to deal with this past week#and i don't have another con until the end of august#so i'm going to have to wipe out my pitiful savings just to make rent and bills until then#i could just about have survived if i knew i had that reliable income in october#but now i don't and i have no idea how i'm going to make it through the winter quiet season#AND i'm helping my flatmate out with food costs until her student loans start back up again#which i'm going to have to stop doing because i can't afford it anymore#so this fucks over both of us in the short term#i'm going to find a way to manage but i just. i need to scream for about a week first#personal stuff

I feel like spiraling is always described as a quick thing but let me tell you. Girls will get afraid and slowly spiral for months I think.
#Like overall we're. Okay#Just wish I had disability getting approved soon or I find a new job or I can just somehow not be sitting in#Either the negatives or slightly above the negatives#Financially I am slowly dying and I'm not dead in the water because my beloved gf is amazing and thankfully can handle this#For at least a few months#But my long term thoughts are so uncertain#I just want to be around her and I just want us to live comfortably#I'm ever so slowly trying to crawl out of this over a year art block and that's a bit taxing mentally too#Idk I just want a bedframe that doesn't make me scared I'll fall every time I sleep or get on it#I wanna work off my fuckhuge loan debt#Its been so ungodly hard recently#I'm also thankful my dr rocks and meds have been helping with pain a good bit.#It just feels like I'm ever so slowly slipping into pretty much bed ridden territory again#Even with the meds. They help the pain a good bit (sometimes) but I still feel exhausted. And I'm getting insomniatic again#I just wanna sleep. I just wanna feel no stress for the first time. I've been stressed since fucking middle school#Or maybe even 6th grade because thats when the chronic pain started! Yayy!!!

me, who started uni thinking i was entirely neurotypical and able-bodied but just lazy: i'm a failure for how long it's taking me to finish this degree. i'm a failure for being unable to get a job while i do so, much less handle it while i study. i don't deserve to take a semester off, i need to be doing something. i need to be able to support myself somehow. i'm failing at life
random voice in my head: you're not even 25 yet. most of your classmates are the same age as you. you can only handle so much and the threshold is much lower for you than for an able-bodied and -minded person. everyone deserves a break and should be able to take one without consequence and it's a shame that you don't feel you deserve it. the milestones you're worried about aren't real and even the one deadline you're worried about is 4 years in the future and your advisor told you not to worry about it anyways. deep breaths. it'll be alright.
#hi i've been in a crisis all week#that post about ADHD and college really got to me#i struggle a lot with internalized ableism and i haven't learned yet to give myself some grace and some room to breathe#i feel like i'm lazy for taking breaks when my mind needs it and i haven't yet learned what i truly need in terms of support#i'm in pain all the time and it took almost a year to bounce back from burnout so bad i couldn't do much of anything#i didn't realize i barely spoke until i started fall term last september and started talking more#(because i really enjoyed two of my three courses and even the third one was a topic i enjoyed)#(even if the class itself kinda stunk)#and my cousin said my voice sounded different#and i realized that i hadn't been speaking so my voice was kinda rough#i applied for a job that i really hope i get. it seems ideal for me and isn't far from my house and isn't really in a popular field#i just really want to start working on my motorcycle license. i don't have the funds to cover the cost without a job#much less the vehicle loan that they won't give me without a job anyways#i'm just. i feel so lost right now and i don't think anyone wants to listen#vent#tag vent
