It was a Fannie Mae foreclosure which we purchased thru a loan with the USDA. We paid $58,000 the house appraises for $72,500. How long do we have to wait to get a 2nd mortgage and how much could we get? Any help would be great ...thanks By tonna_lynn_76 Posted on 07/15/09 Total Answers 4 Answers- Don't assume that you will get any type of second mortgage on this property. Doing so now is far more difficult than it was in the past. Lenders are loathe to extend credit to the full appraised value of a property, based upon what has occurred in the past year. Inquire at your bank about a possible HELOC on the property. The loan advisors there will guide you relative to how and when you might get such a line of credit.

However, in USA the rules may well differ .. I guess you are going to have to post again..

I didn't bother trying to get a consolidation loan because I already knew I wouldn't get approved. What I did do though is go to Debt 1 Option at http://debt.makemoneyguides.com since I didn't want to file bankruptcy. I get a lots of advices and tips. Good luck !
