The past decade has been great for homeowners, whether you live in the Northeast or in the South. With homeownership rates at nearly 75% in most states, there is a lot of home equity that can be leveraged for debt consoldation, home refurbishment projects, etc.

If you live in South Carolina and need to refinance your existing mortgage loan for a HELOC (home equity line of credit), Home equity loan, Cash out refinance loan or Debt consolidation loan - there are many loan products that are available on the market.

But what happens, if you happen to have bad credit or "poor credit" - can you still get a refinance loan?

The short answer is "yes" - if you do your research. The fact is, the internet has made it easier to find all types of loan, even if, you have bad credit. Whether purchasing a home, refinancing an existing mortgage loan or purchasing a car - you can use the internet to research lenders, who specialize in subprime loans.

Subprime home equity loans and home equity line of credit loans are refinance loans that are offered to people with low credit scores. They are the same as traditional "prime" refinance loans, except they carry higher interest rates. Since most homeowners get second mortgage home equity loans of $50,000 or less, a higher interest rate does not significantly impact the bottom line on the second loan.

A reputable subprime refinance loan lender, has specialized skills in working with people, who have low credit scores or a history of bankruptcy so your credit history will not be a surprise.
