You unpaid it off when you used it for collateral for your HELOC.

They’ll put a lien on it and recoup what you owe them plus interest once you sell.

They don’t want your house. Taking a house actually cost banks money once they take them. They’d rather you incur the expense in paying the insurance, taxes, maintenance plus commissions.

They just want your money.

They do this frequently - as recent as last year.

How long does it take for the sky to impact? It’s been falling for 4 years now…….

What I can’t wrap my head around is if home prices are rising- why are people going down with the ship?

Why not just easily unload your asset, maybe stack a little cake on the way out, and live to fight another day?

It’s a bit too hard for me to believe.

There isn’t going to be a big crash in home prices.

The uni party won’t allow it

Wells Fargo suspends new HELOC loans

Big banks haven’t been approving them for a couple years, at least not many of them. My wife and I tried to go through BOA a couple years ago for a small HELOC of like $25k. Bath have 800+ credit scores, great income to debt ratio, a ton of equity in our home…denied after 2 months of waiting. Went to a local bank and got approved and closed for $150k in like a week.

So will this stop people from flipping houses or will the housing market alone keep that from happening?


There has been and will always be a market for this

We aren’t gonna out run negative equity boom. It is coming.

A three/four year window of buyers and loc takers are gonna go backwards. Luckily most of them had reasonable credit.

You still have to pay to live somewhere. I could sell my house but why? I can easily afford to keep it and I don't want to go back to an apartment.

I bought my house 5 years ago before prices got insane and I have a 3.6% rate. No reason to leave.

Unless you are talking about the covid buyers.

The decline from banks has nothing to do with my credentials or property, they all stated they are no longer offering commercial building loans at this time.


Covid and the "work from home" movement has killed commercial real estate (at lease, office space/occupancy). I would not want to be trying to sell an office building right now .

Stout, this looks like it has been going on for a while with Wells. I don’t see any articles online talking about a recent stoppage
