Combinations of fixed and floating rate mortgages are also common, whereby a mortgage loan will have a fixed rate for some period, for example the first five years, and vary after the end of that period. You literally get a checkbook for the HELOC and you can write checks to your hearts content until youve maxed out the lines limit. Because ownership changes twice in an Islamic mortgage, a stamp tax may be charged twice. After a while, if you get in over your head home equity loan and can't pay, you could lose your home.

Abusive lending practices range from equity stripping and loan flipping to hiding loan terms and packing a loan with extra charges. Over this period the principal component of the loan (the original loan) would be slowly paid down through amortization.

Participation mortgages allow multiple investors to share in a loan. Because you dont own the home any more, you wont get any money when the property is sold.
