Want to renovate your home, consolidate high-interest debt, or build your emergency fund?
No Matter Your Goal, a HELOC* Can Help You Achieve It
Your home is likely the largest and most valuable asset you have. With a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit), you can use the equity you’ve built in your home to secure a line of credit with more favorable terms, lower interest, and a longer borrowing period than most other types of loans can offer!
Here are a few reasons to consider a line of credit backed by your home equity:
- The borrowing period lasts 10 years, and you only pay interest on what you actually borrow during that time
- Because your house is secured debt, interest rates are lower than a credit card
- After the borrowing period, you’ll have an additional 10 years to pay back the loan
From Dream Projects to Unexpected Expenses, a Home Equity Line of Credit Keeps Your Life Moving Forward
Imagine being able to consolidate all your high interest rate debt and then pay it off at a much lower interest rate. You could easily save hundreds (or even thousands!) in interest, all while paying off your debt on your own timeline.
Maybe you’re working hard to pay off student loans but feel like you can’t even make a dent thanks to the high interest rates. Borrowing against the equity in your house gives you the freedom to pay off that debt at a fair rate. You can also use a HELOC to pay tuition up front so you never have to deal with high interest rates on student loans!
In the market for a new home or a second home? You can borrow against your current home’s equity to make the down payment on the next one! In today’s real estate market, having the funds for a sizable down payment can make all the difference.
Or maybe you want to stay right where you are and pursue some home improvements. A HELOC can help you turn your current house into your dream home!
Facing expensive medical bills? Want access to an extra emergency fund for unexpected expenses down the road? There are no penalties for not using this line of credit or paying it off early — the money is simply there if you need it.
