Access Cash Without Touching Your Savings

As you pay down your mortgage and your home gains value, equity builds. A home equity loan or line lets you borrow against that equity to fund renovations, tuition, or debt consolidation—often at lower rates than credit cards.

  • Low closing costs that maximize your budget
  • Better rates than traditional banks
  • Flexible terms that adapt to your timeline

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How is home equity calculated?

It's a simple formula: your home's current market value minus your remaining mortgage balance equals your equity. For example, a $300,000 home with $180,000 still owed has $120,000 in equity. 

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

A home equity loan gives you one lump sum with a fixed rate and consistent monthly payments—like a second mortgage.

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) works like a credit card secured by your home, letting you draw funds as needed during the draw period, typically with a variable rate.

What percentage of my equity can I access?

Typically, you can borrow up to 80-90% of your available equity. 

Why choose a home equity loan over a credit card?

Three big reasons: significantly lower interest rates (often 10-15% lower than credit cards), potential tax benefits (consult your tax advisor), and larger borrowing capacity based on your home's value rather than just your income.
