Home Equity Line of Credit
A home equity line of credit (HELOC), also commonly referred to as a “second mortgage,” is a convenient and flexible way to pay for some of life's big expenses. It allows you to borrow against your equity — your home's value minus the amount you owe on your mortgage. Some common uses for a HELOC are:
Home improvements
Unexpected expenses
Vacations
College expenses
How Does a HELOC Work?
A home equity line of credit gives you a line of credit secured by your house, and it is based on your home's most recent appraised value. A HELOC is a line of credit (or HELOCs are lines of credit) that you borrow from as needed, and as you make payments, your amount of available credit increases. You can borrow as much or as little as you need as often as you need it during the draw period.
What Are the Benefits of a HELOC?
Taking out loans against home equity can help you finance various planned and unplanned expenses, such as home repairs, improvements, and renovations. HELOCs and second mortgages can also help you consolidate debt or supplement your emergency fund if it has run out.
When you establish a HELOC with us, you'll enjoy:
An established line of credit for both planned and unplanned expenses using available equity in your home.
Up to 100% of your home's value using a recent appraisal.
Online access to check your balance and draw from your credit line.
Access to your loan details and ability to draw from your credit line using the MyCU Digital Banking app.
Quick closing to get your projects off the ground sooner.
Home Equity Fixed-Rate Loans
Home equity fixed-rate loans, also commonly called “second mortgages,” allow you to get a loan based on your home's value but for a fixed term and rate (as opposed to a HELOC's variable terms and rates). Unlike a home equity line of credit where you can draw on the loan as you need, with a fixed-rate loan, you'll receive one lump sum of money and then pay it back over the life of the loan.
These loans help you take care of large, upfront, and specific costs since you'll be borrowing a pre-determined amount. You can pay for both expected and unexpected expenses such as:
Debt Consolidation
Higher education tuition
Short-term home repairs
Wedding expenses
Medical bills
And more!
Fixed-rate home equity loans offer several benefits, including:
Certainty: Monthly payments will remain the same throughout your loan's life, making it easy to budget for monthly expenses for the entirety of the loan.
Protection from market changes: The interest rates are fixed on these loans, so you can enjoy stability and consistency even as rates move up and down in the market.
Flexibility: You can use a fixed-rate home equity loan for any purpose, whether the expenses are planned or unplanned.
Blue Eagle Credit Union has home equity fixed-rate loans with terms of up to 15 years for qualified borrowers. We can also loan up to 100% of your home's value based on the most recent appraisal.*
