Disadvantages of a 125 Home Equity Loan

The 125 home equity loan is just what it sounds like. A traditional home equity loan can be for up to 100% of the equity that is in your house. 125 home equity loans provide you with an additional 25% on top of the home’s equity. A 125 equity loan is similar to a regular home equity loan in that it is a second mortgage. The homeowner pays mortgage payments plus payments on a second loan on a monthly basis. So the 125 loan will be for the amount above what your regular mortgage is up to 125%.
