1407 James Way Edgewater Maryland JJ Fegan - REMAX, Edgwater, MD

My husband and I are nearly upside down on our motgage. Foreclosures in the surrounding area have significantly reduced our home's value and we have a 70K HELOC in place. We want to use the HELOC funds as a downpayment to move to a better area (new construction), and would sell our current house for what we owe, gaining no profit. Once we moved out, we would repay the the 70K balance of the HELOC over a 10-18 month period before taking posession of our new home.

Is there any circumstance under which this plan would work? Is is possible that our HELOC lender would agree to allow us to pay back the 70K (although we no longer own the house) over a 10 -18 month period?

And, finally, would this have any effect on our credit if we never missed a payment and intend to keep paying, just not living in the house anymore?

Sorry for the multipart question, but we REALLY APPRECIATE any advice on how we could make this work or if it's impossible.

THANK YOU!

Desperate in Maryland
Thank you all for the advice. Let me clarify a couple of things. The HELOC we have is currently open in the amount of 70K, however, in the 9 months since we secured the HELOC our home value has declined to almost zero!

Since so many near us are foreclosing we have no comparables in our area at market value, which has forced our equity down to nil. It's just barely worth what we owe.

With that said, our lender has not yet decreased our HELOC amount (but I'm sure it's coming) Our plan would be to withdraw all 70K, put it in an interest bearing account and then sell the house for what we owe. We'd sell for what we owe, use the 70K cash for deposit on new construction, move w/ parents while new house was being built and repay the 70K over 10-18 months. We do earn salaries that would allow us to repay in that time, but we just don't have the lump sum in the bank now for our down payment. foolishly, we thought we'd get most of it from the sale of our house.
It looks like from what most are saying, the bank would never agree to let us hold the money beyond the sale of our house, even if we can prove that we are able to repay it in that short amount of time.

Only if they were willing to extend a 70K personal loan and release the security.

Unless you are Donald Trump, it's not going to happen.

Banks only lend that kind of coin with good security.

I bought a new house recently in MD and it currently under construction. I will be settling within 2 months. I have a question about home appraisal. I saw maryland taxation and assessments web site and over there exactly similar house is appraised at much lower value for 2010 than what my builder is charging me for.
My house is still under construction but the land Price for my lot decreased already as per MD taxation website.

Is state appraisal different than what we pay for the house?

What are my options should I renegotiate my contract?

Thanks in advance

Think of it this way... here our taxes are based on county assessments (I will assume it to be the same there). The lower the assessment, the lower the taxes. I left mine when we built our home otherwise our taxes would be almost double what they are now. You cannot negotiate with the builder. The assessment means little here. Here no one pays any mind to the county tax assessments unless they are too high and you complain to have them reevaluated. Selling a home the house would be appraised differently by different people. What you pay for building a home and what that home is worth if you were to sell it upon completion will be a different value than the assessment.

Hello all. I'm a little new here, so forgive me if my question is a tad bit lengthy.

Ok, I'm a Senior about to graduate from high school and I'm the happiest I've ever been in a long while. I had a vision my freshman year that I was going to be someone. Both of my parents are European immigrants and I'm the first one in my family to go to college. My dad and his brothers own their own construction firm and my mom is a stay-at-home person.

I worked hard and managed to achieve a 3.84 Grade Point Average, 4.1 Weighted GPA with 2 Honors classes and 2 APs. Now, last year I applied to various colleges I had a vision of going to. I did an extensive college tour this summer and I looked at a lot of colleges I thought I'd be happy at. Now, I'm 8 for 8. However, I'm still trying to decide... This, I heard is the hardest part. I'm sure they're all good institutions, but which one?


1. University of Virginia
2. University of Delaware
3. University of Maryland - College Park
4. University of Miami
5. Vanderbilt University
6. Boston College
7. Georgetown University
8. Harvard University - I just found out I got accepted today



These are all great, I love Virginia, but I think I might be able to go to Harvard for free. I love Boston College and Georgetown for their Jesuit, Catholic traditions, but I also like all the others. Virginia is probably my first, BC second, and Harvard my third.

well, it kind of depends on your field of study too because some of these schools are better than the others in certain areas.

Personally, i would not recommend Harvard because a degree from the other schools on that list is just as good and you wont have all that hardship from unlimited school work (you can learn the same amount of stuff at the other schools without the extra assignments) If money isnt much of a problem for you guys, I would recommend Georgetown or BC. Consider Maryland as well because most of their programs are really good. Also consider the weather cuz it matters (you will be living there right?)

Well I think you hit the nail on the head. There was too much extra pork tacked on it. They talked about it and yet still did exactly what they said they wouldn't do. Our government is incompetent. And unfortunately people just keep on buying into the corporate agenda ignorantly. Their talking points are the corporate talking points, all the while the corporations sit there not saying a word. It's repulsive.
