  • A Home Equity Loan is a type of Second Mortgage. They are simply two different names for a loan that is taken out against your home to get cash for home improvements, pay off existing debt or to use for another expense.
  • A home equity loan and a home equity line of credit (HELOC) offers two different ways to access funding for repairs, renovations or additional expenses by using your home’s equity. Your home’s equity is calculated using the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio:

    Home Equity Loan:
    • Provides a lump sum of cash
    • Repaid over a fixed term
    • Consistent monthly payments
    • Fixed interest rate for the loan duration

    HELOC:
    • Revolving line of credit to draw when needed
    • 10-year draw period
    • Operates similar to a credit card with multiple ways to access
    • After the draw period you’ll enter a repayment period that can last up to 15 years
    • Interest only payments during the draw period
    • Interest and principal payments during the repayment period
    • Variable interest rate
    A HELOC provides flexibility and the ability to access funds when needed, while home equity loans offer a fixed lump sum with consistent monthly payments. Choosing one over the other depends on your financial goals and preferences. You can talk with a personal finance officer to find out which one is best for you.
  • When applying for a home equity loan, please provide the following:
    • Proof of income (pay stubs for the last 30 days, 2 years W2 or 1040s)
    • Proof of Homeowner's Insurance (policy declaration page)
    • If you have a first mortgage, your most recent statement
    • A copy of your tax bill Additional information may be required.
