HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit)

Revolving credit line secured by your home equity. Lets you borrow against equity without refinancing your first mortgage.

A HELOC is a revolving credit line secured as a second lien on your home. You can draw funds during a 10-year draw period (interest-only payments), then repay over a 15-20-year repayment period. Rate is typically variable (Prime + margin). HELOCs preserve your existing first-mortgage rate, making them attractive when you have a low-rate first and need to access equity.
