What are Home Equity Loans & Lines of Credit?
Both of the home equity financing options described below have specific advantages. If you're not sure which is right for you, we suggest you reach out to one of our Mortgage Loan Officers who are happy to provide guidance for your unique situation.
Home Equity Loans (also known as 2nd mortgages or Cash-Out Refinances), allow homeowners to borrow funds using their home equity as collateral. These are one-time, fixed-rate loans where the borrower receives the full loan amount upfront as a lump sum. Borrowers can qualify for a home equity loan even if there is an existing mortgage on the property.
Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) are similar to Home Equity Loans, but instead of a lump sum the funds are accessed, with a credit card or checking account, through a revolving line of credit. Another difference to keep in mind is that the interest rate for a HELOC is adjustable. Typically, HELOCs have a draw period, during which you can withdraw money, and a repayment period, during which you must payback the balance. At Cal Coast our HELOCs have a 10-year draw period, with interest-only payments, and a 15-year repayment period.1
When should you consider a Home Equity Loan?
A Home Equity Loan can be a great option if:
- You need the full loan amount upfront
- You value stability
- You prefer a fixed-rate and knowing that your payment will never change
When should you consider a HELOC?
A HELOC can be a great option if:
- You don't need the entire loan amount upfront
- You need to access funds directly with a credit card
- You want the flexibility to draw money when you need it and pay interest only on the amount borrowed
