A Home Equity Loan is another way to tap into your home's equity for whatever you need without giving up your low mortgage rate.
There are many benefits of a Home Equity Loan. While a HELOC is a variable rate line of credit that you can use over and over again, a Home Equity Loan has a fixed rate and term. This makes it easy to budget your monthly payment, and after you pay off the loan, you're done! Plus, there is no annual fee or pre-payment penalty, and your interest payments may be tax deductible. (Consult your tax adviser.)
Your Annual Percentage Rate is a fixed rate and is based on loan-to-value, term, and creditworthiness. The minimum loan amount is $5,000. Financing for up to 15 years is available on loan amounts up to 80% of the appraised property value minus the outstanding first mortgage balance.
