What is a Home Equity Loan (HELOAN)?

A home equity loan, also known as a HELOAN, is a single installment loan leveraging your home’s equity as collateral. These loans come with several advantages, notably their fixed interest rates—often lower than many loan types. Additionally, they provide a steady monthly payment, ensuring you have a consistent repayment schedule that can last up to 30 years.

Applying for a HELOAN

To qualify for a home equity loan or HELOAN, you need adequate home equity. We allow homeowners to borrow up to 95% of their primary home’s value, subtracting any existing mortgage balance. Your eligibility for a HELOAN is influenced by several key factors:

  • Creditworthiness and credit history
  • Employment stability
  • Monthly income versus monthly obligations

It’s similar to the process you underwent for your initial mortgage, ensuring you can manage this new line of credit responsibly.

Common questions about Home Equity Loans (HELOAN)

  • Yes. Home equity loans are often called second mortgages. While a traditional mortgage gets you into the home, a home equity loan is taken after you've built up equity.

  • A home equity loan provides a lump sum at closing, repaid through monthly principal and interest payments until fully settled.

  • Both tap into home equity but function differently. A HELOC is a revolving line of credit, much like a credit card, usually over 5-10 years. A HELOAN offers a lump sum repaid over a fixed term. HELOCs have variable interest rates, while HELOANs are fixed.

  • During a HELOC's draw period (usually 5-10 years), you make interest-only payments. After this, you repay both principal and interest over 10-20 years. A HELOAN has consistent monthly payments covering both the principal and interest.

  • Second mortgages, including HELOCs and HELOANs, usually have higher rates due to increased risks. In foreclosure, the first mortgage is prioritized, and second mortgages face a higher risk of not being fully repaid.

  • Rates are typically lower than other credit forms since the home is collateral, reducing bank risk. Rates vary based on creditworthiness, loan amount, loan-to-value ratio, and market conditions.

  • You can usually borrow up to 95% of your home's equity. Calculate your equity by subtracting your mortgage from your home's current market value. The loan amount also depends on income and credit history.

  • Yes. Lenders appraise your home to determine its current market value and the available equity to borrow against.

  • After approval and closing, borrowers generally receive their funds within two weeks, though individual circumstances can affect this.

  • Primary benefits include potentially lower interest rates than other credit types. Interest paid on a home equity loan may also be tax-deductible in some cases.
