| Home Equity
Loan: A fixed rate, fixed term loan.
The entire amount of the loan is funded at closing. Terms can vary
from 5- 30 years. A typical example would be a 30/15. A 15 year loan
that has payments amortized over 30 years that is due in 15 years.
Home Equity Line of Credit: (HELOC):
A home equity line is a form of revolving
credit in which your home serves as collateral. Because your home
is likely to be your largest asset, you should consider a home equity
line of credit for the purchase of major items such as education,
home improvements, or medical bills and not for day-to-day expenses.
