You could hold out for negative interest!

Ok, seriously, do you have a big first loan or something, thus rendering the equity loan completely and totally under water?

Most likely the OP goes into default and the lender takes what left of it.

Ask for a Good Faith Estimate and Itemization Worksheet so you can review the costs up front and terms.  Sounds too good to be true??

Zero percent? What's the catch? What are the associated fee's?
