[quote author="stepping_up" date=1248520037]They are still there, but I haven't seen the great rates like we have from our 2007 vintage, which is currently at 3.24%. However, B of A informed us this week that we can no longer draw on it due to a re-evaulation of the property value. About a year ago they cut the line nearly in half, but now they say the line is the same, but we can't draw on it??? Between the buy and bail idiots ruining the opportunity for responsible people to move up and this you have a credit line but can't draw on it, we once again feel like the people who did everything right, but are restricted because of what the idiots who did everything wrong did.</blockquote>
Consider yourself lucky. I have absolutely no interest in one of these. I believe they foster the indentured servitude that is so prevalent in our country. What good is owning a house when you end up becoming a slave to it? Sure, I'd love to remodel my kitchen, turn my master bedroom into a real master bedroom (instead of the box I have now) and re-landscape the yard, but at what price? I'd like to have something that is actually paid off before I retire, I don't want any payments. There was a time when I could have taken out 600K in equity from my house, now that I can't, I really don't care.
