Should I get a HELOC or a Home Equity Loan?
A home equity line of credit is like a bank account where you can continuously access your available funds up to your credit limit. As you repay the loan you can access the money available again and again, without having to reapply for the loan. Easily transfer funds from your HELOC to your checking or savings account through online or mobile banking, or use complimentary checks to pay for purchases.The annual percentage rate is variable and will change with the prime rate.
Fixed Rate Home Equity Loan
With a fixed rate home equity loan, you borrow a fixed amount and pay back the loan over a pre-determined period of time. The monthly payment for a fixed rate loan is typically higher than a line of credit, but you may pay off the loan quicker.
