Bank failures scant in state Columbus Dispatch

Banks in this country are failing at an alarming rate: 133 this year and counting.

The round announced Dec. 4 included six banks that were taken over by federal regulators; one was in Ohio. Cleveland-based AmTrust Bank was the 11th-largest in the state, with about $12 billion in deposits.

There have been some near failures, most notably Cleveland-based National City, and 14 Ohio financial institutions are under scrutiny by federal regulators. However, such failures are rare in this state.

AmTrust was only the second Ohio bank to be taken over since Jan. 1, 2008. The first was Peoples Community Bank of West Chester, shut down in July.

By comparison, 24 Georgia banks have been shut down this year; that's the most in the nation. Illinois is second, with 20 failures, followed by California with 15 and Florida with 12, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Ohio's banks have fared better than those in other states for several reasons.

Home equity loan help please?

Ok, so i owe roughly 100K on my home and it appraises at around 117K.

I need to get roughly 10K, is that doable, i want to make improvements to my house. How do i go about doing this, or getting approved?

I would say my fico score is around the low six's.

what all cost would be involved with the loan? like appraisal, closing cost etc... and would that all just be deducted from the equity loan itself?

Also, what all do they factor into giving you a loan? Are equity loans easy to get?

I live in Ohio by the way.

Any information is appreciated.


You should have no problems getting an equity loan with your credit scores. Since you are only asking for 10k, the house is worth 117k so you will still be under with both loans the appraised value you should not have much trouble.

Costs involved depend on the company you choose to finance your loan. Some companies offer no out of pocket while others can range up to 1,000.

Factors in giving a loan, are house worth to money owed, your credit, debt to income ratio, etc.


Your LTV ratio is already high. Put off the improvements until you save up the cash for them.


Yes this can be done, the total cost should not run you more then about $250. At Many banks it will cost you nothing.

Many banks will let you borrow 95 - 100% equity in your property. They are not hard to get!

Just make sure you can prove all your income.

Hello Everybody,
My name is Mrs Symone Roland and i live in the CANADA , life is worth living right now for me and my family and all this is because of one man sent by GOD to help me and my family, i once had a life filled with sorrow because my first daughter needed a kidney transplant and all our savings were going towards her medications and this normally leaves us with no money to pay our bills or even put enough food on our table and our rent was due and no funds to pay these bills and life felt so unfair to me and every night my daughter will cry herself to sleep every night until one day, i was browsing through yahoo answers and i saw a striking advert of a man that gives out personal loans and that the offer is opened to all and i have heard so many things about internet scams but at this point of my life, i was very desperate and ready to take any risk and at the end of the day, i applied for this loan and from one step to another, i got my loan within 48 hours through bank transfer and you know, it was all like a dream and i called Mr Frank Petti who is the GOD sent lender i found and said, i have received my loan and he smiled stating that to GOD be the glory and i was so shocked as i have never ever seen anyone with such a GOD fearing and kind heart and today, i am the happiest Woman on earth because by GOD'S grace, my daughter kidney transplant was successful and today she is healthy and i and my family are living very comfortable and happy and if you are in my former situation or is in serious and legitimate need of a loan, you can reach this GOD sent lender via frank_petti@yahoo.com

Home Mortgage Loan?

Does anyone know a company in Ohio that will give you a home mortgage loan for an investment property? We have excellent credit and already own our home and do not want to take out a home equity loan. The problem we are having is we only need the loan for $18000 and can not find anyone who will loan that little bit for a mortgage


You can get an equity line of credit for the investment home. There should be no probem, since you have such heavy equity in the property. There is no three day receission period for investment property, spo the funds can be released on date of settlement. (I have done loans like this, so I know it works.)


Try an online broker like e-loan to tap multiple possible sources.

My home is paid for and I have an equity loan.?

I live in Ohio. Can I refinance this into a regular mortgage or some other kind of loan with lower interest rate? I am at a variable rate right now. Loan amt is 25000. And I still owe prob (without looking) at least 23000. Any financial wizards out there?


If your credit is good and your house is worth more than the loan, it shouldn't be a problem. Talk to the bank where you have the equity line to see if they will convert it. If not, you can take out a new loan from any bank and use it to pay off the equity line. It shouldn't be difficult it all. Good luck!

Update: Your equity line may have a penalty if you close it early, so find out and factor that into your decision. You can always pay the balance without closing it.


You don't need to be a financial wizard. Find out how much your home is currently worth - check sales of similar homes in your area. Subtract the amount of loans you already have on the house (your mortgage) from its value. That is the amount you have in equity in your house, the amount you can borrow. Of course you have to prove that you have the the ability to pay the bill every month, banks are being very conservative now because of the sub-prime mortgage scandal.
I would consider refinancing the your mortgage to a fixed rate - you can add the amount you want to borrow, variable rates scare me just now with great inflation coming our way.


A mortgage loan and a home equity loan are the same, in that the house is used as collateral against the loan. That being the case, I would talk to the bank who originated the home equity loan and see if it could be reclassified and locked at a fixed rate. If that's not possible, the entire loan would have to be rewritten as a first mortgage. The down side is you'd be required to pay any fee's associated with originating a mortgage and, more than likely, an appraisal of your property, as some properties have actually lost value as of late. Additionally, you may incur a fee for early pay-off of the home equity loan, depending upon what it states in the paperwork you signed.
