How to Get a Home Equity Line of Credit
Ready to talk to an expert?
HELOCs are different from home equity loans. With a HELOC, you are borrowing money on a revolving basis, similar to a credit card, and you can request cash any time you need it by writing a check. HELOCs also typically have variable interest rates, which differ from the fixed interest rate of a home equity loan.
The amount you are allowed to borrow depends on the amount of equity you have in your home. It can also be dependent on your income, credit history, and market value of your home.
