A HELOC allows you to utilize the equity (value) of your home as collateral to receive a lower interest rate than a personal loan or credit card. This is a great option for financing larger purchases. Once you're approved for a HELOC, you can utilize the line of credit on your own time whenever and however you need it. Best of all, our HELOC offers a fixed rate, so your locked-in rate won't change! 

 

HELOC benefits:

How do you qualify for a HELOC?

You must have equity in your home to qualify for a HELOC. This means that the amount you owe on your home is less than what it is worth. 

To find out the value of your home, a great place to start is to look up the tax-assessed value. You can find this info at your county assessor's website:

You can also reach out to a Realtor to perform a market analysis.

Once you apply online, we'll just need your most recent paystub, your most recent mortgage statement, and a copy of your homeowner's insurance declaration page to get started.

home equity line of credit or HELOC is a revolving line of credit that uses the equity of your home as collateral. HELOCs are most commonly used when you need access to your home's equity over the next eight years. Whereas, a home equity loan is a close-ended loan. As you pay off a home equity loan, the balance decreases and you receive your funds when you are approved for the loan. Home Equity Loans and HELOCs can be used for home improvement, debt consolidation or other high costs like college tuition.
