Prefer to talk now? 954-590-8464A HELOC is a revolving credit line secured by the equity in your home. During the draw period you can borrow, repay, and borrow again up to your credit limit — useful for a renovation that unfolds in stages or a reserve you want available but untouched.
During the draw period payments are typically interest-only, which keeps the monthly cost low while the line is open. When the draw period ends, the line converts to repayment and the balance amortizes over the remaining term.
A line of credit fits staged expenses that a lump-sum loan handles awkwardly.
Borrow what you need, repay it, and draw again during the draw period.
Payments during the draw period commonly cover interest only.
A HELOC is secured by your home, so it prices well below unsecured credit.
You pay interest on what you actually draw, not the full approved limit.
Renovations, debt consolidation, education, or a standby reserve.
Interest may be deductible when the funds improve the home — confirm with your tax advisor.

A home equity loan pays a single lump sum at a fixed rate. A HELOC is a revolving line you can draw from repeatedly during a set draw period, typically with interest-only payments, then repay over the remaining term.
It depends on your equity. Most lenders cap the combined first mortgage and line at 85% of your home's appraised value, so the available line is whatever room remains below that ceiling.
The line converts to repayment. You can no longer draw, and the outstanding balance amortizes over the remaining years of the term, which raises the monthly payment.
