There’s two types of Second Mortgages, HELOC’s or HELOAN’s
What’s the difference between a Home Equity Line of Credit & a Home Equity Loan.
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
A HELOC is a line of credit that is secured by your home, giving you a revolving credit line up to a certain amount. You only pay interest on the amount you use! Take out as much as 95% of your home equity.
It can be used for large purchases such as renovations, tuition, emergency expenses, and paying off credit cards. Purchase a 2nd home or investment property. Take a dream vacation.
You choose how much (or how little) to use. Lower interest rate compared to other loan options, such as a personal loan Interest-only payment options.
Home Equity Loan (HELOAN)
Similar to a cash out refinance, a home equity loan will provide you with a lump sum of cash; as much as 95% of your home’s equity.
It can be used for renovations, tuition, emergency expenses, pay-off credit cards and after two months, can be used to purchase a 2nd home or investment property. Fixed interest rate and a fixed monthly payment. Lower interest rate compared to other loan options, such as a personal loan. But you pay interest on the entire lump sum amount.
