Re: How long do you need to be in a house to refinance/get a home equity loan?
i dont think time matters - but if you are going for a home equity - do you have enough equity in only 1.5 years? and there are more closing costs associated (appraisal, etc) so figure in that cost as well.

might want to check your mortgage if you want to refinance - there are a lot that limit refinancing for 2 years - typical on adjustable mortgages

We applied for a home equity loan about 15 months after we bought our house. We had increased our equity already by 34% by then.

Re: How long do you need to be in a house to refinance/get a home equity loan?
You can get an equity loan when you apply for the mortgage if you home will have the equity in it. If you put down 10% and it appraises for more than you paid. The key is you have to have equity in the house. With a down payment and a high appraisal you shouldn't have a problem. There is no lminimum time on how long you have to be in the house.

This is not true everywhere and is irresponsible to say so.
She wasn't asking about costs and banks either.

Why are you so nasty?
Meaghan up there a few posts said there are closing costs I am saying WAMU as well as other banks DO NOT CHARGE CLOSING COSTS!
I work for the bank and DO HELOC so I know about them?

So you can dish it out but you can't take it.
You calling someone nasty is like the pot calling the kettle black.

I can definitely take it but You keep following me around and when I ask you something about what you said you don't answer you throw the EYE ROLLS around like crazy.
Im just not sure why you keep "stalking my threads" to spew things that A) aren't True and B) you have no idea of my feelings on them.
To me thats nasty.

Re: How long do you need to be in a house to refinance/get a home equity loan?
First, I'm not following you around. I think I've said this before...but the Earth revolves around the sun...not you. I happen to post on a lot of threads that you post - much like many people - DUH!...and I find your tone straight out nasty. In fact, you're one of the nastiest people on here. You got the better of me today, because I'm usually a lot more reserved.
I don't throw eye rolls "like crazy"...just in the thread where you stated the obvious and brought up something that had nothing to do with the post.
I didn't feel the need to respond to your question because I thought it was obvious.
This is my last post here...I won't hijack Shana's post.
Sorry Shana!!

Definetly Check it out. I'd be surprised if they charged since Most banks don't
