Understanding Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs)

What is a HELOC?

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their homes. Unlike a Home Equity Loan that offers a one-time lump sum, a HELOC operates more like a credit card, where you can draw from the available credit limit as needed.

With a HELOC, borrowers have the flexibility to access funds over a specified draw period, followed by a repayment period. During the draw period, borrowers can use the funds for various purposes, such as home improvements, debt consolidation, or other expenses.

Benefits of HELOC Loans:

  • Flexibility: Borrowers can access funds as needed, up to a predetermined credit limit, during the draw period.

  • Interest-Only Payments: During the draw period, you may only be required to make interest payments, offering lower initial monthly payments.

  • Revolving Credit: As you pay off the balance, you can borrow again, providing ongoing access to funds without reapplying.
