Borrow only what you use
A line of credit sits there until you draw on it. You pay interest on the balance, not the limit.
Usually cheaper than cards
Because the line is secured by your home, rates are typically well below unsecured credit card rates.
Keep your first mortgage
A HELOC sits behind your existing mortgage, so a low rate you locked years ago stays untouched.

Common questions about heloc
How much equity do I need?+
Most lenders want you to keep 15% to 20% of the home's value as equity after the line is opened, so the more of your mortgage you have paid down, the larger the line you can qualify for.
How is a HELOC different from a home equity loan?+
A HELOC is a revolving line you draw from over time, usually at a variable rate. A home equity loan is a single lump sum at a fixed rate with a fixed payment.
What happens if I can't repay it?+
A HELOC is secured by your home, which means the lender can foreclose. That is the real trade-off for the lower rate, and it is worth weighing carefully.
