Home Equity FAQs
- A HELOC is a great product if you’re looking to do multiple projects or would just like to have emergency funds on hand. HELOC’s also have flexible payment options and typically offer the lowest payment of any home equity product. However, we recommend you reach out to us if you have any questions.
- A Home Equity Loan is great for a one-time expense, like remodeling a room in a house, a vacation, wedding, college tuition, or car repair. It’s also a great option for consolidating and paying off high-interest debt, such as credit cards or student loans.
Ultimately, we recommend you talk to one of our home loan experts, who will listen to your story and advise you of the best solution for your individual need.
The answer depends on your unique situation. Home equity is the amount available after subtracting what you owe on your mortgage from your home’s current market value. Home values increase and decrease depending on market conditions. Just because you were once loaned to the total value of your home doesn’t mean you are today. The amount you could be approved for depends on your credit history, your home’s value, and other factors.
No. There are no fees to apply for a home equity loan or line of credit. We do charge a small loan processing fee, however, it is cheaper than the industry average depending on your situation. There may be additional fees, but our team will iron out all the details so there’s no confusion. We’d be happy to discuss the process with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our team members. We’re here to help!
Our team works as quickly as possible. It typically takes 7-14 business days from the time your application is submitted to you having your loan funds available. The timeline can vary based on a number of factors related to your situation but we are very transparent with our communication during the process and will make sure you are given a realistic expectation so you can be prepared.
