A borrower with $50,000 of other liens on his home closes
a HELOC where he requests an advance of $40,000, so that he can have some money
available and begin to pay off the other debt. The lender tells him 3he can
only have $30,000 despite the fact that the credit limit is $80,000 . What is
the fair market value of the home at the close?
$90,000
$100,000.
$50,000
$80,000
This
is asking about the 80% rule, which
limits the initial advance. The advance, combined with the current outstanding
principal under the HELOC and any other debts secured by the house, cannot
exceed 80% of the fair market value. Since the borrower plans to keep the
$50,000 in loans for some period of time, and the lender says the maximum he
can extend is $30,000, the lender is saying that the maximum allowable initial
advance is $80,000, which is 80% of $100,000. The fair market value is $100,000
If the sale of real property subject to a deed of trust
or other contract lien is sold at a foreclosure sale under a court judgment and
