Home Improvement & Equity
Unlock the value of your home.
A HELOC offers flexible access to funds as you need them, similar to a credit card but with the benefit of using your home’s equity. With a revolving credit line, a HELOC is ideal for ongoing expenses or projects with changing costs.
- Interest only payments during the 10-year draw period
- No restrictions on how funds are used
- Interest is calculated only on the amount drawn, not the entire approve loan amount
A HELOC must be secured be a client’s primary residence. The maximum loan is limited so the total of all liens on the property do not exceed 80% of the property’s value.
Whether you’ve got a leaky ceiling or plan to expand your living space, we can help you finance improvements to the home you already own. All we need to evaluate your loan application are specifics about the changes or additions you want to make and any contractor bids you’ve received. The amount of loan you qualify for will also depend on how much equity you have in your home and the value the improvements will add.
A Home Equity Loan provides a one-time lump sum with a fixed interest rate and predictable monthly payments. It’s a great option if you know exactly how much you need to borrow and prefer stable payments over time. Using your home’s equity to accomplish specific personal financial goals can be a great money management tool. We offer home equity loans with a variety of fixed-rate loan options. You may borrow against equity in your home for almost any reason, and the interest you pay on a home equity loan may be tax deductible. Contact your tax advisor to determine your eligibility to deduct interest.
