Refinancing and Home Equity

HELOC / Home Equity Loan

Tap your equity. Keep your mortgage.

Overview

A HELOC or home equity loan is a second loan secured by your home, so your current first mortgage and its rate stay exactly where they are. A HELOC works like a line of credit you draw from as needed; a home equity loan pays a fixed lump sum up front.

HELOCs usually have a draw period followed by a repayment period, and rates are often variable, so payments can rise. Home equity loans typically have fixed payments. Either way, your home secures the debt and missed payments can put it at risk.

Solution highlights

  • Leave your existing first mortgage untouched
  • Choose a flexible line of credit or a fixed lump sum
  • Use funds for renovations, big expenses or debt consolidation

Your home secures the debt and is at risk if payments are not made. HELOC rates are often variable and payments can change after the draw period.
