HELOC Loans

A Home Equity Line of Credit is a revolving personal line of credit secured by the equity you’ve built in your home. This ongoing line of credit allows you to borrow money whenever you need it during your draw period. This type of home loan is ideal for financing everything from your home improvement projects to consolidating debt on higher-interest loans.

A Home Equity Line of Credit is a flexible loan that includes a wide variety of benefits.

 
  • Easy loan application and fast loan approval
  • Borrow money as you need
  • Monthly interest payments on the amount you owe
  • Interest may be tax deductible (check with your tax advisor)
  • Guidance provided by employee-owners, not a faraway headquarters
  • Onsite underwriting, processing, and servicing
  • No annual fee

How does a Home Equity Loan work? A HELOC rate is variable and is tied to the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal. HELOC loan terms and rates are contingent upon home appraisal value, your credit history, and your ability to repay the loan. Please consult your tax advisor for the deductibility of interest.


HELAM Loans

The Home Equity Loan Amortized home equity loan option is a closed-end, fixed-rate home loan for up to 15 years. Unlike the variable interest rates on a HELOC loan, HELAM home equity rates are fixed.

  • Fixed interest rates
  • Easy loan application and fast loan approval
