Renovations

Investment Down Payment

Use built-up equity as the down payment on an investment or rental property.

Roll high-interest credit cards and loans into a lower, single monthly payment.

Home Equity FAQ

How much equity can I access?

Most homeowners can access up to 80% of their home's value across all mortgages and lines of credit combined, and up to 95% under certain circumstances.

What's the difference between a refinance, HELOC, and second mortgage?

A refinance replaces your entire mortgage with a new, larger one. A HELOC is a revolving line of credit alongside your mortgage. A second mortgage is a separate loan in second position behind your existing mortgage, avoiding any penalty on it.

Is interest on a HELOC tax deductible?

It can be, if the funds are used for investment or business purposes. This depends on your specific situation, so confirm with a tax professional.

What is a reverse mortgage?

A reverse mortgage lets homeowners 55 and older access home equity with no required monthly payments, repaid when the home is sold or the owner moves.

Will accessing my equity affect my existing mortgage rate?

Not if you use a HELOC or second mortgage — your existing mortgage and its rate stay untouched. A cash-out refinance replaces it entirely, which may change your rate.
