![]() Home Equity LoansAs a homeowner, you have easy access to a low-cost source of money--the equity in your home. Lenders offer two kinds of home equity loans. The most important difference is how you receive the funds. A Home Equity Loan is an installment loan to be paid off over a specific period of time with set monthly payments. You will receive the entire loan amount up front in one lump sum. A Home Equity Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit that offers you the convenience to borrow money as needed (up to your approved credit limit) simply by writing a check. As you pay down your outstanding balance, that amount again becomes available to borrow against. Your monthly payment varies based on the loan amount outstanding. |
