Frequently Asked Questions

What Kinds of Home Equity Loans are Available?

arrow-right

There are three types of mortgage loans that you can use to tap into your home equity. 

Cash out Mortgage: If you have a mortgage and want to refinance into a lower rate, or extend the payment period and lower your monthly payments and also take out additional money, then a cash-out mortgage is a great option. One popular reason to take a cash-out mortgage is consolidate your mortgage and credit card debt into one monthly payment.

Home Equity Loan: If you built up equity through paying off your mortgage or rising home prices, you can take out a mortgage (or second mortgage if you already have one). A HEL allows you to tap into you home for many reasons including debt consolidation and home improvements.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): Do you need money over an extended period of time? Instead of taking a traditional installment payment mortgage, consider an HELOC, which is a revolving line of credit. Similar to a credit card, it allows you to borrow money over time, pay it back, and take out up to your line of credit. A HELOC has variable payments, so you need to budget carefully.
