How it works: A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) provides a revolving credit line secured by your home equity. During the draw period, you can borrow as needed and typically make interest-only payments. During the repayment period, you can no longer borrow and must make fully amortizing payments. HELOCs offer flexibility but often have variable rates. Keep utilization below 30% for optimal credit score impact.

FAQ
How does a HELOC work?
HELOCs provide revolving credit secured by your home. You have a draw period to borrow and make interest-only payments, then a repayment period with fully amortizing payments.
What's the difference between HELOC and credit cards?
HELOCs typically have lower rates than credit cards and higher credit limits, but both are revolving credit. HELOCs are secured by your home.
How is HELOC interest calculated?
Interest is calculated only on the amount you borrow, not the total credit limit. Rates are usually variable and tied to prime rate.
What happens after the draw period ends?
You can no longer borrow and must begin making fully amortizing payments that include both principal and interest over the repayment period.
How much HELOC can I get?
Typically up to 85% of your home value minus existing mortgages. Lenders consider credit score, income, and home equity.
