Long story short, we were involved in a lawsuit with a neighbor. Settled the case with agreement to purchase his property (8 rural acres, dilapidated mobile home) for $90,000.
Was not expecting a surprise $90,000 purchase, and all my liquid cash is tied up in the market, which i'm upside down on. So, I took out a home equity loan to cover. Rate was good at first, 4%. Intended to refi into a mortgage, but complications with case delayed. Now rates have spiked and i'm paying almost 8%. It's not going to break us, but I hate wasting money.
Are there any options to get this into a lower rate? Mort rates are 7% + closing costs...
