Home Equity Loans and Lines Of Credit

Home Equity Loans vs Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC)

HELOCs and Home Equity Loans are similar because both allow you to borrow against your home's equity. But while a Home Equity Loan gives you one sum of money all at once, a HELOC is a certain amount of money available for you to borrow as needed.

* Equity Loans are the only kind of tax-deductible interest expense available to most consumers (check with a tax professional regarding your eligibility).

What is a Home Equity Loan?

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is an open-ended mortgage ideal for recurring expenses such as educational costs. Borrow up to 90% of the appraised value of your home, less the balance of your first mortgage loan. You may access the credit line for a period of five years, and only make payments on the amount you use.
