LOAN PROGRAM
HELOC
HELOC loans are a popular option for homeowners who have significant equity in their homes and need access to cash for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other expenses. They offer flexibility and the ability to access funds as needed, but they also come with variable interest rates and the risk of foreclosure if the borrower cannot make payments on the loan.
Loan Type:
HELOC stands for Home Equity Line of Credit, which is a type of revolving loan that allows borrowers to access their home equity as needed.
Loan Amount:
HELOC loans are typically offered as a line of credit up to a certain limit, which is determined by the lender based on the borrower’s creditworthiness, income, and home equity.
Repayment:
HELOC loans have a draw period, during which borrowers can access the funds as needed, and a repayment period, during which borrowers must repay the principal and interest. The repayment period is usually 10-20 years.
Interest Rates:
HELOC loans have variable interest rates that are tied to an index, such as the prime rate, and can fluctuate over time.
Collateral:
HELOC loans are secured by the borrower’s home, which means that if the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can foreclose on the home to recoup their losses.
Fees:
HELOC loans may have fees, such as application fees, annual fees, and early termination fees, which vary by lender.
