WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOME EQUITY LOAN
AND A HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT?

 

With a Home Equity Loan, you borrow the sum of money upfront and make a fixed payment. With a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), you borrow the money as you need it. A HELOC works similarly to a credit card, as it is a revolving line of credit. A HELOC will charge interest at an adjustable-rate that can change at the beginning of each month. We notify our clients each time the rate changes.

 
 

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF A HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT?

 

Your equity in your home can be used to secure a line of credit. Based on the equity you have built thus far, we’ll establish a borrowing limit. You can borrow cash anytime. You’ll only pay the interest, and as you pay down your balance, you can re-borrow up to your limit.
