What is a HELOC? (Home Equity Line Of Credit)

​

HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is a revolving line of credit loan that allows you to borrow money against the equity in your home. The equity is the difference between the value of your home and the outstanding balance on your mortgage. This means that you can borrow money against the equity in your home, and then repay it (and borrow again) as needed. The interest rate on a HELOC is typically variable, which means it can fluctuate over time based on market conditions.

 

HELOCs can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:

• Home improvement projects

• Debt consolidation

• Medical expenses

• College tuition

• Retirement expenses

 

HELOCs can be a great way to access cash without having to sell your home. However, it's important to remember that HELOCs are debt, and you'll need to make monthly payments. It's also important to compare interest rates and terms from different lenders before you choose a HELOC.

 

Here are some of the pros and cons of HELOCs:

Pros:

• Access to cash without having to sell your home

• Flexible repayment terms

• Tax-deductible interest (in some cases)

Cons:

• Debt that you'll need to repay

• Variable interest rates that can fluctuate

• Closing costs
