Home Equity Loan - where is the best place to get a home equity loan besides a bank?

where is the best place to get a home equity loan besides a bank?

I have already tried at my bank and was denied. Does anyone know a good tried and true place to get a home equity loan?

If you can be a member of a credit union, that would be a good place. You can go to finance companies as well, but the rates will be very high. Remember, if you are seeking a home equity loan to consolidate other debt, like credit cards, you are betting your house you'll pay. It's not always to use home equity for consumer expenses ("buying a blouse on the house"). Good luck to you.
equity loan? not sure... we found cashloancity.com to be great, but I think they're only smaller loans.
