A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a flexible loan option that allows you to borrow against the equity you have built up in your home. It operates much like a credit card, providing you with a revolving line of credit that you can use, repay, and use again.
How Does a HELOC Work?
A HELOC gives you access to a predetermined amount of money based on the equity in your home.
You can withdraw funds as needed during a draw period, typically lasting 5 to 10 years. During this period, you often make interest-only payments on the amount you borrow. After the draw period, the repayment period begins, usually lasting 10 to 20 years, during which you will pay back both the principal and the interest.
