Home equity loans are not being handed-out like they used to be because in the event of default it's always the second lien holder that takes it in the shorts and doesn't get any of their money back. Unlike a first lien holder that gets at least a majority of their money back through the foreclosure sale and mortgage insurance. Your credit issue will work against you, so shop around and don't take just anything. You don't want a loan with bad terms just because they are the only ones that will lend to you. You'll end-up in more financial trouble than you are now.

First, don't assume. I have people every week who tell me they have bad credit, and they do. On the other hand, I also have people who tell me they have bad credit, but the scores, while weak, are acceptable enough. Contact a local mortgage broker in your area. Give them a full application, and see where it goes.

First, know exactly where your credit is. Then, start with the place you do you banking or a local mortgage banker who handles HELOC's, see what they can do for someone with your credit profile. If your credit is bad enough you will have very few options other than a "hard money" lender or a finance company. Make sure that you have a plan to get your credit back where it needs to be or you could end up loosing the house.

How do you define bad? what is your fico score? do you have collections, charge offs etc? You mght want to get a free credit report and see your credit history, it may not be as bad a you think.

You can get a HELOC on a home that is paid for. However, you will need the credit scores and income required to qualify
