If you need a loan, you may wonder if you'd qualify for a secured loan. A secured loan requires the borrower to pledge an asset they own as collateral to the lender. The good news is that a secured loan may be easier to get than an unsecured loan, which doesn't require collateral. So, let's dive deeper and see how secured loans work so you can determine if it might make sense for you.
Secured loans are backed by collateral. Collateral is an asset you own, such as a house, car, cash in a savings account, boat, fine art, or jewelry. If you fail to repay a secured loan, the lender has the right to seize the collateral. Therefore, you should only get a secured loan if you're confident you'll be able to make your payments.
When you put collateral on the line, you become less of a risk for the lender because they know that if you default on your secured loan, they have the legal right to take the asset and sell it to recoup some of their losses. For this reason, because secured loans typically have less stringent credit qualification requirements more borrowers can get approved. If you don't have the best credit or can't qualify for other types of loans, assuming the lender considers the asset adequate collateral, a secured loan might be a good solution.
The most common secured loans include:
The most noteworthy benefit of a secured loan is that you may get approved for one despite your credit or financial situation. Here are a few advantages to consider:
Since secured loans are tied to collateral and lenders can seize it if the borrower defaults, they're typically easier to qualify for than other types of loans. In addition, assuming the asset value is adequate, they tend to come with lower rates and higher borrowing amounts. However, they come with the risk that if you default on the loan you lose the asset. That said, secured loans are available from a variety of lenders, allowing you more choice if you're considering one for your situation.
