Home equity loans are used for a variety of needs including debt consolidation, medical debts, vacations, property purchases, and almost anything else for which you need extra money.
A Home Equity Line of Credit is a second mortgage that provides you with funds as needed without disturbing your existing first mortgage. Home Equity Lines of Credit operate differently than most mortgage products. A Home Equity Line of Credit is an actual line of credit. Interest is only charged when funds have been drawn against the account. Funds can be paid back, only to be available on demand when needed later.
Home Equity Line of Credit interest rates are tied to prime plus which is a margin of zero to four or more percent. Allowable loan amounts differ from program to program. One general rule of thumb is 80% of the property value minus the existing first mortgage. Some Home Equity Line of Credit programs can access all remaining equity in a home. Make sure you consult your accountant about the various tax advantages that may be available to you before securing your loan.
