Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to common questions about this loan, gathered from people like you during our research.

What’s home equity?

Home equity is the difference between your home's current value and the remaining balance on your mortgage. For example, if your home is worth $200,000 and you owe $150,000, you have $50,000 in equity.

How do I know how much home equity I have?

To estimate your home equity, determine your home's current market value and subtract the remaining mortgage balance. For instance, if your home could sell for $200,000 and you owe $150,000, your equity would be approximately $50,000.


However, when opting for a cash-out option, you may not be able to access the full amount of your home equity. Typically, you may need to leave a percentage, often around 20%, of the equity in the home.

What can the funds from a home equity line of credit be used for?

Many borrowers use a home equity line of credit for purposes like home improvements, debt consolidation, or paying for tuition. However, you can actually use a HELOC for almost anything you need.

Will taking out a home equity line of credit hurt my credit score?

When you open a new loan, such as a home equity loan, your credit score may experience a slight dip. This drop is usually temporary, and your score could even improve over time as your total available credit increases.
