HOW IT WORKS
With a HELOC, you’re using the available equity in your home and then borrowing against it. Your house is used as collateral for the line of credit. As you repay your outstanding balance, the amount of available credit is replenished, much like a credit card. This means you can borrow against it more than once if you need to, and you can borrow as little or as much as you need throughout your draw period (typically 10 years) up to the credit limit you establish at closing. At the end of the draw period, the repayment period (typically 20 years) begins.
A HELOC can be used for a variety of things. It can be a great way to invest in your home to increase value such as building an extra room, upgrading or rennovations. Other options include, paying off higher interest debt or even college tuition. The interest rate is often much lower since this is considered a secured loan.
