Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) allow homeowners to tap into the value of their homes.
HELOCs offer a flexible, variable-rate second mortgage, while home equity loans provide fixed-rate, lump-sum loans up to 85% of a home's value.
HELOCs with varying amounts such as $100K, $250K, and $500K offer different borrowing capacities and repayment options over 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30-year terms.
Home equity and building wealth through increased equity are essential for long-term financial health, and HELOC rates are influenced by banks and Federal Reserve interest rate policies.
