Home Equity Loan
By using your home as collateral, you can take out a loan
against the equity you have built up in your house. This is called
a home equity loan, not to be confused with a home equity line of
credit (HELOC). A HELOC is a line of credit that is available to
use as you need it, whereas a home equity loan is one lump sum
that you pay back over time. Home equity loans may have lower
interest rates. A fixed rate home equity loan may save you even
more money.
Home
equity loans may be used for any purpose, tend to have fixed
rates, and can be tax deductible. When considering the use
of your home and your equity as a debt solution, you should
carefully consider all your options including a second
mortgage, a home equity line of credit or mortgage
refinancing.
There are risks to consider when applying for a fixed rate
home equity loan. The interest rate of a home equity loan may be fixed
at a lower rate than that of a home equity line of credit.
However, the risk in taking out a fixed rate home equity loan is
greater because you're taking out all of your home's equity all at
once. Also, if you sell your home, the entire amount of your fixed
rate home equity loan becomes due. If you've thought about other
options, and a home equity loan is right for you, start the
