Two Types of Home Equity Loans

There are two different types of Home Equity Loans, and it’s important to think about when and how you intend to use the funds before deciding which option will best suit your needs.

Conventional Home Equity Loan

This can be an excellent option if you are looking for a lump sum payment. It is a second mortgage that is secured by the equity in your home and provides funds in a lump sum at a fixed rate for a fixed term (up to 15 years). 

Use the funds to replace the roof on your home, finance a home improvement project, assist with debt consolidation, pay off a major unexpected expense, and so on. The loan is repaid in budget-friendly fixed monthly payments, just like your original mortgage.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

This option provides you a greater level of flexibility. It works very much like a credit card and can be used when you need it, such as for financing an ongoing home-improvement project, paying ongoing tuition, or paying for recurring expenses. 

Unlike the conventional Home Equity Loan, the interest rate on the HELOC is adjustable (not fixed), which means it may change over the term of the loan.  

The draw period (the allotted time to borrow on the loan) is typically 5 to 10 years, and payments due on the amounts you draw out are typically interest-only payments. As you pay off the principal, your credit revolves, and you can use it again and again for the duration of the draw period. When the draw period ends, you are responsible for repaying principal and interest on the loan.
