Frequently Asked Questions

A home equity line of credit allows you to have flexibility to borrow money as you need over time during the draw period. It is a revolving line of credit secured by your home and is the most flexible type of home financing available. It gives you flexible payment options based on how much of your line of credit you use.
Payments during the draw period are applied to the outstanding principal balance on the credit line, making your available credit increase. As you pay down the principal balance, the amount of credit you have available to borrow increases. For example, a $50,000 HELOC with a balance of $30,000, has $20,000 of available credit. If you pay the balance down to $10,000, you will have $40,000 in available credit.
Depending on your credit worthiness, you can borrow up to 80% of your home’s value, minus the balance of your mortgage.
