What is a Home Equity Loan
A home equity loan is a way to borrow money from a bank, and your loan is secured by your home. Once you’re approved for your home equity loan, you’ll receive a lump sum in the amount you are borrowing. You’ll then make fixed monthly payments to the bank to pay back your home equity loan.
A home equity loan versus a home equity line of credit is a personal decision based on your financial situation. With a home equity loan, you receive the entire amount requested with a fixed rate term and payment. With a home equity line of credit, you have access to borrow a portion of the amount now or at any time during the term of your line. Your line will have a variable rate and you will only make payments on the amount you use (or “draw”) from your line.
Common uses of a Home Equity Loan
It’s always important to make sure that applying for a loan is the best option for your financial situation. While there are plenty of ways to use a home equity loan, here are some of the most common uses we see from our customers:
• Home Improvements – switch from “outdated” to “updated” by using your home equity to pay for major repairs or upgrades
• Consolidating Debt – oftentimes one of the most powerful tools on your financial journey is to consolidate debt into smaller, more affordable monthly payments. Because a home equity loan is secured by your home, rates are often much lower than a personal loan or credit card. Check out our debt consolidation calculator to run your numbers.
• Refinancing a Mortgage – interest rates have a consistent history of being inconsistent, which means your original mortgage rate could be higher than the rate you would pay if you refinance your mortgage into a home equity loan.
