Home equity loan FAQS
Will this impact my existing mortgage?
No. Our home equity loan does not touch your first mortgage rate or term.
What terms are offered for home equity loans?
We offer flexible 10-year and 15-year terms. Both terms have a 5-year draw period where you can borrow as much or as little as you want up to your full loan amount.
What is a line of credit?
A line of credit (“LOC”) is a flexible loan that you can tap into when needed. You can borrow money up to a predefined amount, pay it back, and borrow funds again—up to that amount—at any time during your draw period.
LOCs can be either unsecured (like a credit card) or secured by some form of collateral (like property). Secured LOCs typically come with a higher credit limit and lower interest rates—both major benefits.
What is a home equity line of credit (HELOC)?
The home equity loan that we offer is a unique fixed-rate home equity line of credit—also known as a HELOC. It’s the most common type of secured line of credit for consumers. The money you borrow is secured by your home. By owning a home, you give lenders a sense that you’re responsible, allowing them to loan greater amounts at lower rates.
Why do I need to use my home to secure the loan?
Your home is simply there to provide security for the loan. It allows you to borrow more at a lower interest rate, even with less than perfect credit. Three really important (and reassuring) things to know. Our home equity loan:
Won’t touch your existing mortgage, leaving your first mortgage rate and term as is.
Won’t reduce the value of your home. In fact, if you use your funds to improve your home, your value could go up.
Will disperse funds FAST. Average time to funding is 15-18 business days.
