A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving credit line secured by your home’s equity. It allows you to borrow funds as needed, up to a predetermined limit, and repay the amount with flexible terms.
HELOC funds can be used for various purposes, such as home renovations, debt consolidation, education expenses, emergency funds, or investment opportunities.
HELOCs often offer lower interest rates compared to credit cards and unsecured personal loans, making it a cost-effective option for accessing funds.
The interest on a HELOC is typically variable and calculated based on the outstanding balance. It may fluctuate with
market interest rates.
A HELOC is a revolving line of credit, while a home equity loan provides a lump sum amount. HELOCs allow flexibility in borrowing and repayment, while home equity loans offer a fixed rate and term.
The borrowing limit is determined based on your home’s appraised value, minus any outstanding mortgage balance and the lender’s specified Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio.
Lenders may have varying credit score requirements, but generally, a good credit score is necessary to qualify for a HELOC with favorable terms.
During the draw period, usually 5-10 years, you can make interest-only payments. Afterward, you may enter the repayment period, where you repay the principal and interest over a fixed term.
