I closed on a house for $195k in January. I have $187k mortgage remaining today.
I'd like to take out $5k maybe $6k to install some carpet and a fence - what would be the best way to do it?
I'm 23 with a 725 credit score. No other debts besides mortgage.
3.5% down ✔
Lowes/Homedepot will do it if you go with their installers. We did if for a fence.
Thanks, I'm looking at a specific brand of carpet they don't carry though :(

Beggar? I've paid my way through life, surely not asking for a handout.
Thinks you can earn things
I could sell my house and break even. What's the risk? $10k is a sizeable amount for a medium disaster plus several kinds of home insurance. Many of you here are in a mindset that is so negative and deters people away from owning homes. Acting like it cannot be done.
Housing only goes up ✔
Get a 0% interest introductory credit card, there’s a bunch out there right now, you should qualify easy. But you really should work on your savings plan.
Thanks, best answer so far
