A condo can be used as collateral for either a new mortgage or for a home equity line of Credit (HELOC). You will need to meet the lender's requirements, of course, but these are done all the time. Start with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker to discuss your needs.

Yes.. It called a mortgage or HELOC... and depending on your position in the condo will determine if and how much they will lend... if you own it outright, then a HELOC would be your best bet.. you apply once, and you can write a check as often as you wish up to your line of credit without having to be approved each time... if you owe money on the condo, it might be harder to do because you need to have sufficient equity to borrow against it... another thing you will run into is that most lenders don't like condo's... they are the first types of properties to depreciate in value in a declining market, and the last to appreciate in value in an appreciating market... conforming lenders will require a condo cert and questioner, and it has to be approved... Since HELOC's are not "Conforming" loans, it's up to the individual lender... if you want to know for sure, you should contact a LOCAL mortgage broker, not the local "Big" bank, and certainly not one of those 50 states internet lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

I think that depends on the bank. Why not get a HELOC or refi with cashout?
