HELOC

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a fantastic way to use the equity in your home to make renovations and repairs. If you own at least 25% of your home you may qualify for a line of credit using your home’s equity (the amount you would reap if you sold your house today) as collateral. A single loan application gives you a source of ongoing credit (terms of 36 or 60 months, that you may opt to renew) for things you need now. A HELOC is a very popular credit line for established homeowners. Learn more about a HELOC here!
