Frequently Asked Questions

What is a HELOC?

Home Equity Line of Credit: a revolving credit line secured by your home equity. Unlike a home equity loan (lump sum), a HELOC works like a credit card — you draw as needed and only pay interest on what you borrow.

What can I use home equity for?

Home improvements (often tax-deductible if over $750K home value), debt consolidation (often at lower rates than credit cards), education expenses, investment properties. Using it for consumption is risky — your home is collateral.

What's the difference between HELOC and home equity loan?

Home equity loan: lump sum at fixed rate, predictable payments. HELOC: revolving credit line, variable rate, flexible draws. HELOCs have draw periods (5-10 years) followed by repayment periods (10-20 years).
