HELOC FAQ

A home equity line of credit is very similar to a credit card. It has a spending limit, and your home is used as collateral. While this is very similar to a traditional loan, there are many advantages of taking a line of credit over another kind of loan, including flexibility, a variety of payment options and a quicker process.

Unlike a home loan, home equity lines of credit let you draw money as you need it. Rather than receiving the entire amount of borrowed money all at once, you have the ability to borrow against your home up to the amount of the credit line.

Payment is flexible to an extent. While you are required to make a monthly payment, you can make a payment of as much or as little as you want, as long as it exceeds the minimum required payment. If you would like to pay off your HELOC before the end of your draw period, you can certainly do so.

Because less is required to apply for a HELOC, you will generally move through the application process faster than if you were to apply for a mortgage. While mortgages can take a matter of months, a HELOC can be issued to you within a few weeks.

1 Introductory APR (Annual Percentage Rate) of 6.99% during the 12-month introductory period.

2 After the introductory period, the variable rate may change monthly and is indexed to Prime Rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal), currently 8.50% APR, plus a margin based on credit qualification and Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV). Variable APR after introductory period cannot exceed 18%, and will never fall below 4.00%. Payments during the 5-year draw period are interest only. Payments during the 20-year repayment period are amortized principal and interest, with a variable APR indexed to Prime Rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal), plus a margin based on credit qualification and CLTV. If only interest is paid during the draw period, all amounts drawn are owed at the end of the draw period and monthly payments will increase when the 20-year repayment period begins. Payments on $99,999 for 20 years at 4.00% APR would be $605.97 or $6.06 per thousand borrowed. Other terms are available, and are based on credit qualification and combined loan-to-value (CLTV).
