A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line secured by your home. You can draw funds during the draw period (up to 30 years) and then repay the outstanding balance over a repayment period (typically 10–20 years). You only pay interest on what you actually draw.
A HELOC is revolving with a variable APR; you can borrow, repay, and re-borrow during the draw period. A Home Equity Loan is a fixed, lump-sum installment loan with a fixed rate and fixed monthly payment.
Your limit is based on your home’s value, your current mortgage balance, credit profile, income, and program rules. We typically allow up to 90% combined loan-to-value (CLTV), subject to underwriting and state limits.
HELOC APRs are variable and usually tied to an index (e.g., Prime) plus a margin. Our representative range starts at 5.00% and up, and your final APR depends on credit, CLTV, state, property type, and discounts (e.g., autopay).

How to get the payment examples:
• Interest-only during draw: Monthly payment ≈ (APR ÷ 12) × balance (e.g., 8.00% → 0.08/12 × 50,000 ≈ $333).
• Fully amortized after draw: Use the standard loan formula with APR/12 as the monthly rate and the chosen repayment term (e.g., 120 months for 10 years) to calculate the monthly payment (≈ $607 at 8.00% APR for $50,000 over 10 years).
