Consumer Tips on Home Equity Loans

B

ORROWERS and lenders should
exercise prudence when it
comes to home equity loans, it is
urged by the American Bankers As­
sociation. Home equity loans are an
important, yet complex financial
tool according to Robert Moyer of
the American Bankers Association,
but they’re not for everyone.
Mr. Moyer’s comments were pro­
mpted by the final release of the
ABA’s new consumer brochure —
What You Should Know About
Home Equity Loans. The brochure,
which is available to all consumers,
marks the second part of ABA’s
home equity public-awareness pro­
gram. Earlier this year, the associa­
tion published a Home Equity Alert
Kit that provides bankers with
guidelines for home equity loan ad­
vertising.
“ A lot of institutions have
jumped on the home equity band­
w agon
m a k in g
c o n su m e rs
particularly vulnerable to aggres­
sive home equity marketing,” said
Mr. Moyer, who is chairman of
ABA’s Consumer Issues Task Force
and vice chairman and chief execu­
tive officer of Wilber National Bank,
Oneonta, N.Y. “Bankers and other
responsible lenders should take the
lead in educating the public about
the pros and cons of home equity
loans.”
ABA’s home equity brochure,
which will be distributed through

banks nationwide, outlines the fol­
lowing benefits and pitfalls of home
equity loans:
Consumers should keep in mind
home equity loan benefits:
• Convenience - the revolving line
feature and the higher credit limit
give consumers the ability to accom­
modate most of their lending needs
on their own, thereby avoiding re­
peated visits to the bank.
• Competitive Rates - home equity
loans often are available at more
competitive rates than other con­
sumer loans.
• Liquidity - a house is a valuable,
albeit non-liquid asset, but a home
equity loan offers consumers a way
to tap dormant equity by converting
part of that built-up equity into per­
sonal cash flow.
• Time - consumers have the op­
tion of longer repayment terms
which appeal to disciplined bor­
rowers.
• Tax Advantages - some interest
payments on home equity loans are
still deductible, even though Con­
gress will phase out other consumer
loan interest deductions by 1991.
But they should keep in mind po­
tential home equity loan pitfalls:
• Debt Overload - don’t risk the
equity in your home if you are not
able to take on additional debt.
• Variable Rates with no Limits —
many home equity loans don’t have
limits of “caps” on how high rates

July 20,1987

can go.
• Foreclosure Risk - if you are
unable to meet loan payments, fore­
closure is a feasible, but (to date) a
rare occurrence.
• Aggressive Lenders - beware of
aggressive home equity marketing,
especially from non-traditional lend­
ers who may cut corners, skip tho­
rough appraisals, provide only mini­
mum information on loan terms and
make inappropriate loans.
• Interest-only Payments - think
twice about interest-only payments,
they may encourage perpetual debt.
• Temptation toward Frivolous
Spending - home equity loans have
been blamed for encouraging un­
necessary spending. Generally,
these loans should not be used for
something that will depreciate in
value over time.
• Closing Costs - like any other
mortgage, a home equity loan has
up-front costs and some also have
annual fees.
The brochure also warns con­
sumers that home equity loans
should not be used to cover current
living expenses or to increase your
standard of living beyond your
means. Appropriate uses include
major purposes such as home im­
provement, education, medical ex­
penses, and prudent debt consolida­
tion.
In addition, the brochure features
ABA’s standard home equity check­
list of questions consumers should
