FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is a home equity loan different from a HELOC?
A home equity loan disburses a lump sum with a fixed rate and payment, while a HELOC is a revolving credit line, usually with a variable rate.
How much equity can I typically borrow against?
Lenders often allow combined loan-to-value up to 80–85% of your home's appraised value, though this varies.
Is the interest tax-deductible?
It may be if funds are used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home securing the loan — consult a tax professional for your situation.
