Home Equity Line of Credit Benefits
Your home’s equity–the difference between how much you owe on your current mortgage and the current value of your home–can qualify you for a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). There are so many advantages!
Flexibility: Spending power any time you need it–only repay what you use.
Access: Access your money with a transfer to your account or a withdrawal at a branch.
Lower interest rate and fees: Closing costs are typically lower than a cash-out refinance.
Fast turnaround: Apply online in minutes and most funding occurs in as little as two weeks.
Should I choose a HELOC or a Home Equity Loan?
Now that you know your home can help you achieve big things, the question is which type of loan is best for you.
With a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), withdraw approved dollars whenever you need them and only repay what you use at a variable interest rate. Perfect when you need cash now or want to wait to access some of the funds later. At Verve, a Credit Union, you can access your home equity line of credit easily online or by visiting a branch.
A Home Equity Loan is a great option if you prefer a lump sum you start repaying immediately. This occurs by monthly payment at a fixed interest rate over a fixed time.
Either option puts your home’s equity to work for you.
