Last year, the average U.S. homeowner held roughly $199,000 in equity. Not bad, huh? If you’re sitting in a similar spot this year, you might wonder how to access your funds.
Let's break down two popular options: the Home Equity Loan and HELOC.
Home Equity Loan
• Similar to a second mortgage.
• You receive a lump sum using your equity as collateral.
• Fixed interest rates mean predictable monthly payments.
• Ideal if you need a specific amount all at once.
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
• Works like a credit card but with your home as security.
• Allows flexible borrowing up to a set limit during the draw period.
• Initially, you only pay interest on the amount you borrow.
• After the draw period, you start repaying the principal and interest.
• Comes with variable interest rates so that payments can vary.
The bottom line?
• Need a large sum immediately? Consider a Home Equity Loan.
• Prefer flexible access to funds? A HELOC might be your answer.
