Exploring HELOCs

HELOCs allow you to access a percentage of your homes equity without losing your current interest rate or increasing your first mortgage payment. HELOCs are a revolving credit line that are attached to your home. Lenders offer a variety of different ways for you to be able to access your funds such as online transfers, writing a check, or using a credit card thats connected to your HELOC. You can use these funds as an emergency backup, home renovations, vacations, or whatever your goals are! HELOCs tend to have little to no closing costs compared to other home loans and usually get rolled into the inital draw of the HELOC preventing you from having to bring in funds at closing! HELOCs usually feature an adjustable interest rate, although some lenders may offer fixed rates for a specified time period before ultimately converting to an adjustable rate.
