Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit (HELOC)

    • A home equity loan allows you to access the equity in your home through a loan with a fixed term and fixed monthly payments of principal and interest.
    • A home equity line of credit (HELOC) allows you to access the equity in your home through a revolving line of credit which can be drawn on and repaid throughout the life of the loan. HELOC rates can vary based on increase or decreases in the U.S. Prime Rate.

Does my credit score affect the interest rate on my loan?

Yes, interest rates can vary depending on the applicant’s credit score. A credit score of 740 or above puts you in the best rate position.

Do I need a home appraisal to refinance my loan?

An appraisal may be required depending on the loan program you choose and if you are planning to take cash out using the equity in your home.

Home Equity Loan vs. Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) – what should I choose?

A home equity loan gives you a set loan amount based on your home’s available equity. The loan has a locked-in rate and a set payment term and amount.  Once the loan is paid in full, the mortgage is released.

A home equity line of credit gives you a revolving credit line using your home’s equity. A HELOC has a variable rate and monthly payments are based on the balance of the line of credit.  You are able to re-borrow funds as you pay the principal balance down.  The line of credit can remain open even after you have paid your balance in full.
