What is a home equity loan?
A home equity loan is a secured loan that lets you tap into your home’s equity by borrowing a lump sum based on the gap between your home's market value and your outstanding mortgage. Unlike refinancing, it lets you access cash for major expenses—like home improvements or debt consolidation—while leaving your primary mortgage rate untouched.
What are common reasons to get a home equity loan?
Get cash without refinancing.
Home equity loans allow you to access cash from your equity without refinancing. If you already have a great rate, a home equity loan may be a better option than a cash-out refinance.
Fund home improvements.
Many home owners will use a home equity loan to fund major home improvement projects to protect their cash or avoid high interest rates provided by contractors.
Pay down expensive debt.
Home equity loans typically provide better interest rates when compared to expensive debt like a credit card. Use the cash from your home equity loan to consolidate your debt and create a monthly budget.
