What is the difference between a mortgage and a home equity loan?

January 01, 2009 By: admin Category: Renting & Real Estate

BC asked:


I own a home that is paid off but would like to take out a loan to fund some home improvements as well as help my parents pay off their home equity loan. Given this scenario can I take out a mortgage since mortgage rates are lower or am I limited to a home equity loan. I’m not interested in HELOC’s.
