I checked with some people I know at several banks this morning. Looks like HELOC rates for best credit are 9.50% and go up from there as credit scores decline.

I got a quote from american financing for what he called a '2nd mortgage', 15 year at 8.25%, $46k cash back (the lowest he could go) payback of $485 a month.
Or 30 year at 9% payback of $402.
Fees/costs are about $4k, so the loan is $50k.
This seems like a better rate than I'm finding elsewhere, is there something I need to know about 2nd mortgage?
Just did a rough and overly simplified calculation.....62strat said:
I figured heloc rates were above 10%.. I reached out to Jja79, on second thought now I do think a Heloc is the way to go.
Mostly because I can get a chunk of this at 0% for 21 months on a credit card, then I can have my HELOC ready to go at that time to pay off whatever is left on that card. Hopefully rates have fallen some.
well I thought I did earlier today(pm on this site)jja79 said:
