If you can get less than 9% on a signature loan still today, let me know where. You could a few months ago before the prime rate shot up like it has, but not anymore anywhere I've seen.



You can still take out an equity line or fixed 2nd mortgage at around 8-9% However, they do vary greatly depending on credit, loan to value and loan amount. I got my cousin a fixed 2nd mortgage the other day for 9.22% with absolutely no closing costs. Btw, you're absolutely correct about the importance of having "some" revolving debt. I've seen some credit reports where people had credit many years ago and it was all in good standing however they now have no open accounts and they stopped reporting a credit score. That's not a good scenario when trying to purchase a home.
