If you’re a homeowner, you can borrow against the value of your house through either a home equity line of credit (often called a HELOC or a line) or a home equity loan (often called a HEL or loan). A HELOC allows you to draw funds, up to a predetermined limit, whenever you need money. There is generally a minimum payment due each month, with the option to pay off as much of the line as you want. The way that you draw and repay funds for a HELOC is similar to the way you draw and repay funds for other revolving lines of credit, such as a credit card.
With a HEL, you receive a lump sum of money and have a fixed monthly payment that you pay off over a predetermined time period. In each case, the amount you can borrow is based on factors such as your income, debts, the value of your home, how much you still owe on your mortgage and your credit history. A home equity loan and a home equity line of credit both provide money from the value of your home. But each one has its pros and cons.
