125% Home Equity: No Equity Second Mortgage Loans for First Time Home Buyers
A 125% home equity loan (also known as no equity loans, 125 home equity loans and 125 loans) is a second mortgage that requires no equity but the loan allows you to borrow up to 125% more than the current combined loan to value (CLTV) ratio of your home. The CLTV is the proportion of more than one loan secured by your home in relation to its value. This is different than loan to value (LTV), which only involves the proportion of a single loan in relation to its value. 125% home equity loans typically require that the borrower has good credit. However, even if your credit is less than perfect, you may still be able to qualify for a 125% home equity loan. If not, you may want to consider mortgage refinancing or a standard second mortgage loan once your FICO credit scores improve
