Sgt Private RallyPoint Member 929299 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have a house in my name and I need an equity loan on it to improve the houses condition. Not a lot really. Roughly 25k but since I&#39;m active duty I know there are places to go where I can get a good loan with a relatively low interest rate. Does anyone know where I could get one of those and what kind of acts there are to ensure I get a low interest rate? I know there&#39;s the SMRA which helps but I don&#39;t know if it would apply. In any case, I have Navy Fed and I&#39;m considering USAA since they usually give out good loans. My credit is not very good honestly. High 500&#39;s/low 600&#39;s. But this is a necessity really and I&#39;m just looking for some advice. I&#39;ve already talked with my chain of command/authority about it and they have their concerns but they are on board to this point. Just trying to cover all bases and see where else I should look so things go smoothly. Thank you everyone and again, any advice is helpful. Please refrain from commenting anything negative like &quot;you&#39;re too young to have that responsibility so be more mature and just wait until you are older&quot;. Thank you again What is the best place to get a good loan? 2015-08-30T23:59:38-04:00 Sgt Private RallyPoint Member 929299 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have a house in my name and I need an equity loan on it to improve the houses condition.

We did a 100% refinance, paid everything off, did some remodeling, and have money in the cookie jar!!!

Waddell. Try USAA. They will work with you more than your average bank to ensure that you get your credit. There are never any promises, but this is probably your best shot. Ensure however that the payment are within your budget !! If you really are not sure, then it's better to wait a year and give it a try when you are feeling a bit more confident.

I got an equity for remodeling and they had the best rate. Customer service with Navy Federal left a lot to be desired, but with auto-pay I haven't had to deal with them much.

Pretty much hassle free.

Maybe I was just lucky because I found out about the [url=<a target="_blank" href="https://kitchensearch.com/]Kitchen">https://kitchensearch.com/]Kitchen</a> Cabinets Westcotville NJ[/url] website, and the designer was able to find me a beautiful and comfortable kitchen at a very affordable price.
