Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) allow homeowners to tap into the value of their homes by borrowing against the equity they have built up.
HELOCs offer flexibility as a variable-rate second mortgage, while home equity loans provide fixed-rate, lump-sum loans, both using the property as collateral.
Different loan amounts and terms cater to various financial needs and projects, with shorter terms suitable for quicker payoffs and longer terms for larger investments.
Building equity in your home through mortgage payments increases net worth and wealth, making home equity loans a way to build long-term financial health, with borrowing limits based on home equity and competitive interest rates.
