Turn equity into ongoing financing for just about anything.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) Loans – Is a loan, using your home as collateral, that lets you borrow up to a certain amount, rather than a set dollar amount.

A HELOC acts like a credit card: You are allowed to borrow up to your credit limit during the draw period. During that time you can withdraw money as you need it. As you pay off the principal, your credit revolves and you can use it again. This gives you more flexibility than a fixed-rate home equity loan.  HELOCs have a variable interest rate that fluctuates over the life of the loan. Payments will vary depending on the interest rate, the term remaining, and how much credit you have used.

Convert the equity in your home into cash you can use for: 

  • Debt consolidation 
  • Home remodel projects 
  • Education expenses 
  • Major life events 
  • And much more 

First or Second mortgage liens available on owner occupied Single-Family home, Double, Tri-Plex, or Four-Plex. 

  • Competitive variable rates for ongoing or seasonal needs. Variable rate, variable term, and variable monthly payments (uses the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate as an index).
  • Five year initial draw period followed by up to ten year repayment period (depending on the outstanding balance at the end of five years).
  • Quick access to available credit during the draw period without reapplying.
  • Financing available up to 95% Loan-to-Value, depending on the type of transaction, property type, qualifying credit score, and property occupancy.
  • $395 Closing Costs Option available for loans less than $100,000.**
  • Quick, local decision-making and processing.
  • Since a home equity loan is a secured debt, the average interest rate is typically lower than what you'll pay on an average credit card or other form of unsecured debt.
  • Interest on a home equity loan may be tax deductible.***
