My credit is not good right now because I have a lot of medical bills that I have to pay off along with some other debts. But I do have a lot of equity in my home. I need to know how can i get my equity to work for me.

Why would someone pick an adjustable rate mortgage over a fixed rate one?

I just read that foreclosures are up 78% in my state, and a lot of them were because people could not afford to pay on their skyrocketing adjustable rate mortgage. I have never bought a home before, but I would like to know why anyone would choose such a mortgage. Are fixed rate mortgages so much harder to obtain?

How does having our lot already paid for play into the equation for a home mortgage loan for building a house?

For example, we are buiding a home for $300,000. We need a loan for $200,000 and our land is worth about $30,000. Do we receive “credit” for a clear lien - making the loan amount actually $170,000?
