A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) gives you ongoing access to your home’s equity without refinancing your first mortgage. You can borrow, repay, and borrow again during the draw period—while only paying interest on the amount you actually use.
✅ Borrow What You Need, When You Need It
Use funds for home improvements, debt consolidation, tuition, or investments.
✅ Lower Initial Monthly Payments
During the draw period, most HELOCs allow interest-only payments.
✅ Keep Your Current Mortgage Rate
Your HELOC is a second lien, so your first mortgage stays intact.
✅ Revolving Access to Equity
Repay and borrow again—flexibility when life changes.
✅ Great for Homeowners & Real Estate Investors
Whether you’re upgrading, paying down debt, or investing, a HELOC adapts to your plan.
A HELOC is a revolving line of credit secured by your home. During the draw period (usually 5–10 years), you can access funds as needed and make interest-only payments. After the draw period ends, your HELOC converts to a repayment phase with principal and interest.
This is a great option if:
You want flexible access to cash without refinancing your mortgage
You prefer smaller, interest-only payments upfront
You plan to use your equity for renovations, investments, or debt payoff
You may qualify if you:
Credit Score: A minimum of 620–660 is usually required. A score above 700 can help you secure better rates.
Home Equity: You’ll typically need at least 15–20% equity in your home. Lenders generally cap total borrowing at about 85% of your home’s value.
Property Type: HELOCs are commonly available for primary residences and often for second homes. Some lenders also allow investment properties, though requirements are stricter.
