What is a HELOC?

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a flexible loan that allows you to borrow against the equity in your home. It works like a credit card, you have a set limit, and you can borrow, repay, and borrow again as needed. It’s ideal for funding renovations, education expenses, consolidating debt, or other big purchases.

 
 
 

Benefits of FHA Mortgages

 
 
  • Flexibility:

    Flexible borrowing and repayment options.

  • Competitive Interest Rates:

    Usually, lower interest rates than credit cards or personal loans.

  • Tax Advantages:

    Possible tax deductions on interest (consult a tax advisor).

  • Availability:

    Access to funds whenever you need them.

  • Revolving credit:

    Borrow, repay, and borrow again.

 
 
 

How It Works:

A typical HELOC has two phases:

 
  1. Draw Period:

    Usually 5–10 years, during which you can borrow money as needed.

  2. Repayment Period:

    Usually 10–20 years, when you repay what you’ve borrowed plus interest.

 
 

Is a HELOC Right for You?

 
  • If you have substantial home equity and need flexible access to funds, a HELOC might be a good fit. It's important to consider your ability to repay and current interest rates. Contact us for personalized advice to see if a HELOC matches your financial goals.
