Home Advantage is a program that is offered through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. Home Advantage is typically combined with a Home Advantage second mortgage that can finance closing cost and the down payment. Unlike the House Key program (state bond), this program has unlimited funds available for qualified Washington home buyers. The first mortgage can be FHA, VA, USDA or a conventional mortgage.
Home equity loans. The most common type of home improvement loan is a home equity loan. This can either be a standard home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC). Because they're secured by the equity in your home, they can offer low interest rates and the interest you pay is usually tax-deductible. Home equity loans are a type of second mortgage; that is, they're a home loan that's subordinate to the primary mortgage used to purchase the property.
