Tap your equity. Keep your rate.
If your first mortgage has a rate you'd never get today, a HELOC or home equity loan lets you borrow against your home's value and leave that rate alone.

Three ways to use your equity
People use it for renovations, paying off higher-interest debt, tuition or a down payment on an investment property.
HELOC
A line of credit you draw from as needed, usually with a variable rate. Good for costs that come in stages, like a remodel.

Home equity loan
A lump sum with a fixed rate and a fixed monthly payment. Good for one big, known expense.

Cash-out refinance
Replaces your current mortgage with a larger one. Usually makes sense only if your current rate is higher than today's rates.

How much can you borrow?
A quick estimate based on your home's value and what you owe.
Estimated amount you could borrow
- Your equity today
- Lender limit used
Lenders let your mortgage plus a new HELOC or home equity loan reach a set share of your home's value, often 80% to 90%. Your credit and income matter too.
For illustration only. This is an estimate based on numbers you control, not an offer to lend. Your actual amount depends on an appraisal, your credit and income, and the lender's guidelines.
From a client
Mr. Salah provided consummate direction in the achievement of my goals, and treated me with professional courtesy and respect. I was made to feel confident of every step, and Amir promptly contacted me with any new information I needed, and addressed every concern I had in a prompt and clear manner.
Home equity questions
How much can I borrow?
It depends on your home's value, your current balance, your credit and your income. Many lenders let your total borrowing reach about 80% to 90% of your home's value.
Does a HELOC change my first mortgage?
No. A HELOC or home equity loan is a separate loan in second position, so your first mortgage and its rate stay exactly as they are.
HELOC or home equity loan?
A HELOC fits ongoing or uncertain costs, like a remodel paid in stages. A home equity loan fits one known cost when you want a fixed payment.
Is my home at risk?
Both are secured by your home, so it's important to borrow an amount you can comfortably repay. I'll help you size it right.
