Home Equity Line of Credit (H.E.L.O.C.)
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a secure form of credit. Banks, Private Lenders and Credit Union use your home as a guarantee that you will pay back on the loan at the set time.
How does Home Equity Line of Credit Work?
A HELOC is similar to a Low Interest Credit Card with a pre-set limit. As the balance is paid down, you have the freedom to use the funds all at once or over time.
The payments go directly back into your line of credit, allowing you to reborrow.
HELOC has the option for variable or fixed interest rates at the time of setting it up.
