The Perks of a Home Equity Loan
A Home Equity Loan is a fixed-rate second mortgage you borrow against the equity in your home. You'll get the full loan amount at funding to use for anything you want — home renovations, large purchases or consolidating debt. It's perfect if you know the exact amount you need and want a fixed payment and a fixed term. You may also consider a Home Equity Line of Credit, which may work better for ongoing or unexpected expenses. It's an open line of credit to draw from when you need to.
