HOME EQUITY LOAN
Home equity loans are used when you want to borrow a specific dollar amount against the equity in your home. The money can be used for a variety of purposes, such as refinancing, home improvements, debt consolidation1, vacations, and more.
Why a home equity loan may be right for you:
- You may be able to deduct your interest expense on your taxes, just like your mortgage2
- The closing cost is typically lower than refinancing your first mortgage
- The rate is fixed for the life of the loan, allowing you to plan and budget without factoring potential interest rate fluctuations
