I wouldn’t recommend it.
When you are approved for a loan, they are saying that you are approved up to a certain amount. Let’s say you were approved up to $150K.
That doesn’t mean you are entitled to the entire loan. That means that the loan agent has calculated that you can afford the mortgage and insurance for that amount.
Loan agencies don’t like being used for personal loans unless it’s a special loan just for that purpose.
And you’re forgetting that just because you pay off one debt doesn’t mean that you’re out of debt because you took out a loan. It’s just putting you in more debt.
When you sign the papers at closing, you are signing for the amount of the loan for the HOUSE. This is a first time home BUYER mortgage, not for personal loans.
My boyfriend and I just bought out 1st house in April. They will only allow to take the loan in amount of the value of the house. You cannot take extra if your house isn’t worth it. We were able to include all of our closing costs in our mortgage. We put 0 (zero) down, paid $242K and took out a mortgage for $250K, since the bank said that was the value. Luckily, we ended up with just $100 in our pockets in the end. Cosing Cost and inspections can be more than you expect. Good luck!
No. Think about it for a second … the home loan is secured on the the home, thus they aren’t going to lend you more money than the house is worth. But, if you can get an unscrupulous appraiser (they are out there) to value your house for more than its actual value after the sale, you could get a second mortgage or a HELOC to pay off those other debts and write off the interest too.
On a loan that is sold to Fannie Mae of Freddie Mac, your loan amount will be sales price or appraised value whatever is lower.
Beware of taking a loan that gives you more than what the house is worth. If you owe more on the home than the market will pay for it and something happens, you will have great difficulty selling. Most likely it would end up in foreclosure. Your lender should go over all that as well. If they are not, I’d look at a lender that will answer your questions.
