Home Equity Loan vs. HELOC

A home equity loan typically provides a lump sum, while a HELOC is a revolving credit line. Their rates, payment structures, fees, and repayment terms can differ, so compare the actual loan disclosures before choosing a product.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is home equity?

Home equity is the estimated market value of your home minus the balance of loans secured against it.

Does a second loan increase my monthly payment?

Yes. A new payment is generally added to your existing mortgage payment and other housing expenses.

Can I use this tool to get loan approval?

No. It estimates payments and borrowing capacity. A lender must review your income, credit, debts, property, appraisal, and other requirements.

Can I use home equity for debt consolidation?

Some borrowers use the funds for debt consolidation, but replacing unsecured debt with debt secured by your home can increase the consequences of missed payments. Compare the total cost and risks carefully.
