Where can I find the best loan rates for equity?

My parents want to take out a loan and are asking me to do a little research. They need about 10-15,000 to do some work on their home. They have well over 150,000 dollars in equity, and decent credit, probably not the best though. What would be there best bet? Refinancing or second morgage, equity loan? Thanks!
right now should be an equity loan. You don’t lose anything even if the market goes a little sour.
If your parents has a good relationship with their bank, they should go and talk to them first. Most will treat their good customer with an extremely good rate compared to others.
Besides, it would be from a bank you trust than some other people.

It depends. Talk to a mortgage lender about your parents’ overall objectives and ask if they can crunch the numbers for you both ways. A home equity loan or line of credit will likely result in minimal or no closing costs, but can have higher interest rates. On the other hand, a cash out refi would typically get them a lower rate, but they’ll end up paying closing costs (which are typically 4 – 6% of the loan amount).
In any event, another thing to consider is whether your parents have to do the loan right now, or whether the work can be put off a few months. If the answer is the latter, they may want to consider whether paying a couple hundred bucks for a credit repair specialist to help them clean up their credit in a month or two, would make it worthwhile to wait. A better credit score would result in a lower rate whether they go with the HEQ or refi.
