Can I USE my house to get Secured Personal Loan ?

Can get a secured Bank Loan easily ? Compared to heloc ?

I have just started new job, but it is website project and dont get paid UNTIL late feb

My credit is under dispute and is bad right now.

I have a mortgage on my house but have NOT been able to get a HELOC from anyone.

they all want to refi first mortgage but wont give 2nd loan/heloc

I ONLY need 9,000 dollars. (had accident last year, lost my grandmother, aunt and had surgery and emergency car/house repairs - so thats my hard luck story)

Just a short term loan for immediate bills.

Im soooo desperate right now that loan sharks seriously sound good.

i dont give a crap about interest rate.

ANyway how easy would it be to get a secured loan using my house with a bank ?

My first loan is 336,000 but I have at least 160,000 in pure equity.

Do not give me ANY links to sites.

Just need advice on approaching banks (im in pennsylvania)

help!

My advice is to completely refinance and take cash out. Why would you take a secured loan for only $9,000? Rates are really low right now so you might be lowering your rate anyway if you do a full refi. Even with bad credit, your rate won't be bad because of the equity you have built in (over 50%). Do a debt consolidation refi, your overall payments will probably be less and you will start to rebuild your credit.
