Homeowner Loans Are Not The Only Type Of Secured Loans.

By Laura Linx

As the name secured implies, secured loans require to be guaranteed by some kind of security.

Secured loans come in all shapes and sizes as it were, and in fact there are loans that people rarely think of as secured when in fact they are. One such example is the car loan which is secured against the asset of the car. Defaulting badly on repayments on a car loan could lead to the repossession of the vehicle.

Loans taken out to buy boats, caravans etc. are again forms of secured loans. These can also end up under the threat of repossession for non payment of the loan.

There are also commercial secured loans and the security put up for commercial secured loans is a commercial building. This can be a care home, ie. a home where elderly or infirm people are cared for in a loving and safe environment with nurses and doctors on call twenty four hours a day.

A commercial secured loan can be secured by a garage where the proprietor has aranged a secured loan against the bricks and mortar value of the garage to purchase additional vehicles to sell to increase the profits of his business.

Places of recreation such as hotels and restaurants can also take out secured loans to carry out improvements which will increase their appeal and bring in more customers. This can be redecoration, extensions, new furnishings, better lighting, etc.

If you own a grocery shop and are strapped for cash to buy in all the stock you need you can use a commercial secured loan for this purpose, and in this way increase your profits.

Although the former are all examples of secured loans, the most common type of secured loan is that which is secured on a first or second home. That is why another name for this form of secured loan is the homeowner loan. These secured loans are secured against the equity of the property itself.

These secured loans are a great low interest way for homeowners to borrow money for almost any purpose whether it is to buy a car, fund home improvements, holidays, weddings, etc. etc. They have a low interest rate as the secured loan lender has the confidence that the borrower fully feels that he can comfortably afford the repayments and that he will meet all the repayments.

There are many form of secured loans, and for those who are eligible they are a good way to borrow. - 30462
