  • When your Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) reaches the end of its draw period, it will enter the repayment period. When this occurs, you will no longer be able to access any additional funds.

    Some individuals may see an increase in their monthly payments. If you have only been paying the interest portion of your line of credit, your HELOC will convert to interest and principal payments. Depending on the initial setup of your HELOC you may already be paying on the interest and principal of your borrowed funds.

    Before your HELOC draw period comes to an end, we encourage you to contact us to discuss payment options or answer any questions you may have. We can help you figure out the best borrowing options to meet your needs.
  • Generally, a HELOC can be taken out for as much as 80% of your home's value, minus the remaining balance on your mortgage and any existing Home Equity Loans or lines of credit.

    For example, if your home's value is $120,000 and your mortgage balance is $27,000 and you also have an existing home equity loan for $16,000, you could potentially qualify for a HELOC of $53,000. Here's the calculation: $120,000 x 0.75 - ($27,000 + $16,000) = $47,000

    Please keep in mind that this is a general estimate. If you need more than 80% loan-to-value, we may still be able to help. Please contact us to discuss your particular situation.
  • Typically, a Landmark HELOC will close within 12-15 business days of submitting your application.
  • No, we’ll waive the $200 early termination fee if you pay off your HELOC with funds from a Landmark mortgage refinance.
  • A Landmark HELOC lets you borrow from your line of credit for up to 10 years—this is called the “draw period.” During this time, you can take out money as needed, up to your credit limit. If you close your line within two years of opening it, there’s a $200 early cancellation fee.
