A home equity loan is a type of loan that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity they have built in their property. Equity is the difference between the current market value of your home and the amount you owe on your mortgage.
Essentially, it is the portion of your home that you truly own. Home equity loans are often referred to as second mortgages, as they are secured by your home and typically come with lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans. One of the primary benefits of a home equity loan is the ability to access a large sum of money at a relatively low interest rate. This can be particularly advantageous for homeowners looking to finance significant expenses such as home renovations, education costs, or debt consolidation. Furthermore, the interest paid on a home equity loan may be tax-deductible, offering potential savings for borrowers. Another advantage is the fixed interest rate and predictable monthly payments, which provide financial stability and ease of budgeting.
Additionally A home equity loan is a fixed amount of money borrowed against your home's equity, repaid in fixed installments over a set term. A HELOC (home equity line of credit), on the other hand, is a revolving line of credit, similar to a credit card, that allows you to borrow and repay funds as needed within a specified period, typically followed by a repayment period
