Finance with a HELOC
Even if you don't currently have a need for cash, an open-ended Home Equity Line of Credit* is a wise move. When you get a Home Equity Line of Credit, you access the ability to draw money, whenever you want, for a period of time. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow. You may borrow money, then pay off the money you borrowed, and borrow again against the line of credit.
Finance with a Home Equity Loan
If you have need of a specific amount of money, a Home Equity Loan might be for you. A home equity loan allows you to tap into your home's built-up equity, which is the difference between the amount that your home could be sold for and the amount that you still owe.
- These are available on any single-unit home or rental property
- Homeowners often use a home equity loan for home improvements, to pay for a new car, or to pay off credit cards. The interest paid is usually tax deductible.
- This type of loan is sometimes referred to as a second mortgage or borrowing against your home.
