Thank you.I understand it better now, even though HVAC is a major component of a home,it's dealt as a separate entity that depreciates, likewise I am assuming that would be the case with refrigerator, washing machine furniture etc

@David M.
Thank you and it makes sense but I have couple of questions.
#1 Is it mandatory or required by law to purchase a title insurance or is it just a stringent requirement by the lender to process the loan?
#2 Since you mentioned the previous lender's title insurance becomes void does that mean borrower's title insurance which was bought from the same company also becomes' void?
I currently have a a pretty good mortgage rate at 3.5 and aiming to lower the rate to 2.5 and the points and lender fees are making it unattractive I am just trying to see if there is a way out to bypass lender title insurance,

Post: Confused while shopping for HELOC!

The concept of HELOC is new to me but I learnt this can be secondary lien that gives an opportunity to pay off loan quickly. I am shopping around but having a hard time to compare and contrast since the product is not straight forward like a conventional loan and I don't quite understand what it means when the product is presented as follows and how do I know if this is a better rate in the current market.Are there any books or video resources that can help me make an educated decision?
70% or less CLTV $25,000 - $500,000
Variable 3.75% APR (Prime + .25%)
70.01% to 80% CLTV $25,000 - $500,000 Variable 3.75% APR (Prime + .50%)
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks
