Can I get a home equity loan if there are two mortgages on the house already?

By · Wednesday

My mom is planning to add my name to the title or deed for our home. She already has two mortgages on the home, the original and then a second that was a loan for the roof. Would I be able to get a home equity loan for this home. I live in Milwaukee, WI

No mortgage company or bank will do a third mortgage. Also you being added to the title does not let you borrow against the property until you have ownership for 12 months & then your mom would also have to sign. You would most likely have to pay off both existing loans to get a new one.
