Have you ever taken a moment to admire your home, thinking about how a renovated kitchen or a modernized bathroom would elevate its appeal? Yet, when you look at your finances, a comprehensive renovation seems out of reach. You’ve probably thought it might be a good idea to just sell and move into a new home further away, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Enter the HELOC – a practical solution to your home improvement aspirations.

A Home Equity Line Of Credit, more commonly known as a HELOC, functions much like a credit card that uses your home’s value as security. Essentially, it allows homeowners like you to leverage the equity you’ve diligently built over the years.

If the thought of rejuvenating your living space without relocating intrigues you, you’re in good company. Many American homeowners are embracing the benefits of HELOCs. If a HELOC sounds interesting, you may want to know a little bit more about my programs.

Key Aspects of HELOCs:

• Interest Rates – HELOCs don’t have a fixed interest rate; they vary with the markets. Make sure that you’re comfortable with fluctuating payments.
• Appraisals – An appraisal is required on your home. This is so that the bank can make sure you have value to borrow against.
• Draw Periods – A HELOC may require that you draw the full amount of funds lended at closing, or it may allow you to draw funds as needed. If you’re allowed to draw funds, you’ll have a limited time window to do so (usually about 6 months to 5 years), after which you will have a repayment period.

The Mechanics of a HELOC:

If you’ve been a homeowner for a few years, there’s a good chance that your home’s value has appreciated since your purchase. This appreciation translates into equity. And with a HELOC, you can borrow against this equity. Simple as that! However, accessing that equity through a loan means that you still do need to qualify for a loan. Some of the basic requirements you’ll be expected to meet are:

• Credit Score – You need at least a 620.
• Income – You need it. The exact amount varies based on your individual circumstances, and I’d be happy to help guide you on your specifics.
• Other Factors – Everyone’s situation is unique, so there might be a few more boxes to tick. But if you’ve got the credit score and income in check, odds are good you’re almost there!

Where Can I Use This?

Well, you can use the funds on whatever you please. The only restriction is that you cannot use the HELOC funds to pay of another, pre-existing HELOC before or at closing.

In terms of the types of property you can use this program on, you can pull a HELOC on your primary home. However, I also offer programs that can be used on second homes and investment properties! Yes, you read right! I have a HELOC program that can be used on second homes and investment properties!

When Can I Use A HELOC?

With my loans? In as little as five days. Yes, five days from application to funding on the HELOC! There is a special condition with HELOCs though; a government mandated 3-day wait period before you can access the funds in the HELOC, called the right of recission. It’s a 3-day period where you are free to change your mind on the HELOC. Except I already included that 3-day period in my five day estimate. So it’s more of a two day loan and a 3-day wait period. Happy borrowing!
