Posted on: November 12, 2020

Sometimes, homeowners require cash for renovation, emergencies, and to consolidate debts as well. They can opt for Second mortgage or Refinance. Refinancing your mortgage gives you a hard time, if you break your mortgage between the term. You are also liable to pay hefty penalties from the banks.
A Second mortgage that does not require any penalty if mortgagors want to take out cash or want to switch. The Second mortgage has three different types, Home equity loans, Home equity line of credit (HELOC) and Piggyback loans, respectively. Today we would like to discuss about a Home equity line of credit (HELOC).

What is a HELOC?
A HELOC is a secured loan, where home is used as collateral. It is a revolving line of credit, you can borrow money, pay back, and borrow again up to a maximum credit limit. You can get access to up to 65% of your home’s value. Nowadays, lenders might lend if you have 80% equity in your home. Interest rates depend on the equity of your home, the more equity you have, the best HELOC interest rate you will get approved for.

How much amount you can get under a HELOC?
Let us say your home is appraised at $500,000 and your first mortgage is $200,000. Based on this scenario, you can get up to $200,000 ($500,000*80%-$200,000= $200,000).

Difference between a HELOC and a Credit Card-

Advantages of a HELOC-
• Renovate your house (Renovation increases your home value, and it may be beneficial in the long run if you are planning to sell your house).
• Funds for emergencies
• Consolidate your debts
• Pay for medical expenses
• Invest in education
• Travel, weddings, etc.
• Help to earn a good credit history

What documents do you need for a HELOC approval?
• Income proof
• Excellent credit history
• Job stability
• Enough equity (At least 80 %)

HELOC payments strategy and default consequences:
To pay for a HELOC loan, you have two options either to pay interest only or blended payments (mortgage principal + interest). If you are unable to pay the loan or default a HELOC, then the lender has the right to begin the foreclosure process. In other words, you can lose your home if you default in making payments.
