Frequently Asked Questions

What is home equity?

Home equity is the portion of your home's value that you own outright: Home Value − Mortgage Balance. As you pay down your mortgage and/or your home appreciates, equity grows. It's the foundation for HELOCs and home equity loans.

What is the difference between a HELOC and a home equity loan?

A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is a revolving credit line — like a credit card secured by your home. A home equity loan gives you a lump sum with fixed monthly payments. HELOCs have variable rates; home equity loans typically have fixed rates.

How much can I borrow against my home equity?

Most lenders allow up to 80–85% combined LTV (Combined Loan-to-Value). If your home is worth $400,000 and your mortgage balance is $250,000, with 85% CLTV you can borrow up to: $400,000 × 0.85 − $250,000 = $90,000.
