Home Equity Loan
A home equity loan allows you to borrow money against the value of your house. It is a great way to access a large amount of money and can be easier to qualify for than many other types of loans, simply because the loan is secured by your home. If your house of worth more than you owe on it, a home equity loan offers funds to use as you wish. You do not have to use this type of loan for home-related expenses such as renovations, appliance upgrades, repairs, etc. The home equity loan becomes a type of second mortgage: the “first” mortgage is the one you used to initially buy your home, but you can use additional loans to borrow against the property if you built up enough equity.
A home equity loan may be a better option than taking out an unsecured personal loan or using a credit card, because home equity loans typically have lower interest rates. Secondly, borrowers can usually quality for a relatively large loan amount, compared to personal loans or lines of credit, depending on the equity in the home. Lastly, don’t forget to ask your accountant about potential tax benefits that come with taking out a home equity loan.
