Best heloc rates or heloc lenders?

I’m starting to look into a HELOC and thought the main thing would be finding the best HELOC rates, but the more I read it seems like the lender matters almost as much as the rate. From what I’m seeing, a lot of the comparison sites focus on rates, but once you dig deeper there are a lot of other things that seem to matter too. Things like closing costs, annual fees, draw period, repayment terms, rate caps, and how smooth the application process is.

I’m trying to figure out how people are comparing lenders in real life. Some seem to go through their local bank or credit union, while others look at online lenders. I’ve been browsing a few options and even saw names like Achieve come up while researching, but it’s hard to tell from reviews how the process goes once you apply. Right now I’m mainly trying to balance finding the best HELOC rate with choosing a lender that’s easy to work with and transparent about fees and terms. Would be helpful to hear what ended up mattering most to others who went through this process.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
