Home Equity Loan
A Home Equity Loan gives you a lump sum up front to pay for your expenses. You make fixed payments at a fixed interest rate over the life of the loan. A Home Equity Loan is great option when you know exactly how much you need to borrow. For instance, an extensive home remodeling project or debt consolidation.
Home Equity Line of Credit
A Home Equity Line of Credit allows you to tap into your home's value as needed. HELOC's are great for smaller home renovation or repair projects that are spread out over time or if you are looking for that financial cushion for commission or self-employed income. You have the flexibility to borrow, with a variable rate, as much or as little as you need up to your limit, repay it all or in part, and borrow again over the life of the HELOC withdrawal term.
What is a home equity line of credit?
A Texas Bay Credit Union home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a loan against the equity in your home (market value of your home less liens against the property) that gives you a revolving credit line to use for larger expenses or to consolidate higher-interest rate loans or credit cards.
How does a HELOC work for Texas Residents?
A Texas Bay Credit Union home equity line of credit (HELOC) works much like a credit card. As you pay down the loan, you open up the amount of available credit. You can borrow against it over and over until the term is up.
What is the interest rate on a HELOC for Texas Residents?
The initial interest rate on a Texas Bay Credit Union’s home equity line of credit (HELOC) varies depending on the amount of the loan, the term of the loan, the member’s credit and employment history. This loan is a variable rate loan, so the rates are going to change each time you borrow against the line of credit.
How long is the repayment period for a HELOC in Texas?
At Texas Bay Credit Union:
- For a 1st lien, there is a 5-year draw period with a 20-year repayment period.
- For a 2nd lien, there is a 5-year draw period with a 15-year repayment period.
Can I use a HELOC to pay off other debts?
Absolutely! You can use a Texas Bay Credit Union’s home equity line of credit (HELOC) to pay down or pay off higher-interest rate loans and credit cards.
What are the fees associated with HELOC for Texas Residents?
The standard fees for home equity lines of credit are:
- Origination fee
- Processing fee
- Deed filing fee
- Flood certificate fee
- Tax certificate fee
- Lien search fee
- In some situations, a disaster inspection of appraisal fee may be assessed.
What are the risks of taking out a HELOC for Texas Residents?
The primary risk is your home. You are using your home as collateral and nonpayment of the loan will cause you to lose your house.
