What criteria is needed to use your house as collateral to get a loan?
You have to have equity built up in your house. It has to be worth more than you owe by a least the amount of the loan you want. Get it appraised to see what it is worth.
If you have equity there are lenders who will give a home equity loan. Home equity lenders are eager to lend money. Be careful though, you could end up owing more than your house is worth. This could be a problem down the road if you decided to sell your house.
