A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) lets you access funds using the equity you’ve built in your home. It can be a flexible option when you want money available for things like home improvements, major expenses, or financial planning.
A HELOC works like a revolving line of credit: you’re approved for a maximum limit, and you can borrow only what you need during the draw period. In many cases, interest is charged only on the amount you use.
Prefer predictable payments instead? You may also be able to use your equity through a home equity loan (a one-time lump sum) with fixed payments over a set term, depending on the program and lender.
Home equity financing allows homeowners to leverage equity without refinancing their existing first mortgage—so you may be able to keep your current mortgage rate while accessing additional funds.
HELOCs often have two phases:
Draw Period: Borrow as needed up to your limit
Repayment Period: Repay the remaining balance over a set term
A home equity loan typically provides funds in a lump sum and is repaid with fixed monthly payments over a set period.
