How 2 solve for potential amount of credit available for home equity loan?

Here is the problem: Ramon owns a home that was appraised for $132,600. The balance remaining on his existing mortgage is $43,260. Ramon's credit union is willing to loan an amount up to 70% of the appraised value of a home. Based on this information, what is the maximum potential amount of credit that's available to Ramon for a home equity loan?

There is a homework section of the site you might try next time.

49k is correct. If he shops his loan with a broker they can probably get him 80% or more instead of 70%. I am a mtg. broker.

$49,560 minus fees.

Have Ramon call me! :)
