Products compared here

Among the 20 products compared here, these two are commonly used for the purposes described.

• Mortgage loans: Borrowing against residential property, including how a federally regulated lender tests the file.

How borrowing works locally

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.

Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit. Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation.
