  • Fixed Interest Rates: Enjoy fixed interest rates that make monthly payments predictable and stable.
  • Potential Tax Deductions: You may be able to deduct the interest you pay on your home equity loan. Consult with your tax advisor.
  • Lump Sum Payment: Borrowers receive funds as a lump sum. This provides flexibility to cover large expenses.
  • Higher Loan Amounts: You can often borrow larger amounts with a home equity loan than with personal loans or credit cards. Home equity loans base the amount you qualify for on your home’s equity, not just your income or credit score.

  • Flexible Fund Use: You can use the loan to cover many different expenses, such as home improvements, education expenses, medical bills, and more!
  • Long Repayment Terms: Home equity loans often have longer repayment terms than other loans, which spread out payments over several years.

Other Home Equity Options

A home equity loan allows you to access a lump sum. For more flexibility, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) provides revolving access to funds up to a set limit.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A HELOC provides access to a revolving credit line secured by your home's equity. You can draw against the approved credit limit as needed. Interest rates are variable, unlike the fixed rates for standard home equity loans. HELOCs provide flexible access to funds for ongoing needs. Draw periods typically last 10-20 years.
