Frequently asked questions
What is a HELOC?
A home equity line of credit is a revolving credit line secured by your home. You draw what you need up to your limit, repay it, and can draw again during the draw period. Because your home secures it, rates are usually lower than credit cards or personal loans.
How much can I borrow?
Most lenders let you borrow up to 80% of your home's value, minus what you still owe on your mortgage. Use the estimator for a quick number. Your lender will confirm the exact amount.
Will checking my options hurt my credit?
No. Our form never pulls your credit. If you decide to apply with a participating lender, they will tell you before running a credit check.
Do I have to refinance my mortgage?
No. A HELOC sits behind your existing mortgage, so you keep your current first-mortgage rate.
What do lenders usually look for?
Enough equity in your home, a solid credit history, steady income, and a manageable debt-to-income ratio. Requirements vary by lender.
Is HELOC interest tax-deductible?
It can be when the money is used to buy, build or substantially improve the home that secures the loan. Rules change, so check with a tax professional.
