Term of The Month: HELOC
Term of the Month: HELOC 🏠💡 Understanding this financial tool can open up new possibilities for homeowners. HELOC, or Home Equity Line of Credit, is a type of loan that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity of their home. Here’s a quick breakdown:
What is Equity? Equity is the difference between the market value of your home and the amount you owe on your mortgage.
How Does HELOC Work? It provides a line of credit that you can draw from as needed, similar to a credit card, but secured by your home.
Interest Rates: Typically, HELOCs have variable interest rates, meaning they can fluctuate over time.
Repayment Flexibility: Borrowers can often make interest-only payments during the ‘draw period’ (when you can borrow funds). Later, the loan enters the ‘repayment period’, where you pay back the principal plus interest.
Uses of HELOC: It’s commonly used for home renovations, debt consolidation, or as a financial buffer during emergencies.
Understanding how a HELOC works can help you make informed decisions about leveraging your home’s equity. Considering a HELOC or need advice on home financing options? Reach out, and let’s explore the best financial strategies for your needs.
