What is a HELOC loan?
A home equity line of credit is a loan set up as a line of credit for some maximum draw, rather than for a fixed dollar amount.
Who should get a HELOC loan?
Home-equity loans can be valuable tools for responsible borrowers. If you have a steady, reliable source of income and know that you will be able to repay the loan, its low interest rate and tax deductibility of paid interest makes it a sensible alternative.
What are the pros and cons of HELOC home loans?
Pros
- Convenient for funding intermittent needs, such as paying off credit cards
- Upfront costs are also relatively low
- Some HELOCs are convertible into fixed-rate loans at the time of a drawing
Cons
- It’s exposed to interest rate risk
- HELOC rates are tied to the prime rate, which some argue is more stable
- HELOCs have no adjustment caps, and the maximum rate is 18%
