Home Equity Loan FAQ

What is a Home Equity Loan

A Home Equity Loan allows you to borrow against the equity you’ve built in your home. You receive the funds in one lump sum and repay the loan with fixed monthly payments over a set period of time.

How is a Home Equity Loan different from a HELOC?

A Home Equity Loan gives you a one-time lump sum with fixed payments and a fixed rate.

A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) works more like a credit line you can borrow from as needed, and payments or rates may vary.

How much can I borrow?

The amount depends on factors like:

  • Your home’s current value
  • Your remaining mortgage balance
  • Your credit history
  • Your income and debt obligations

A lender can help determine what you may qualify for.
