Home equity options

HELOC, cash-out refinance or self-banking mortgage?

A HELOC is one of three ways to use your home equity. We compare a home equity line of credit, a cash-out refinance and a self-banking mortgage, and recommend the one that fits.

Home equity line of credit

Borrow against your equity as you need it. Your current mortgage and its rate stay exactly as they are.

Often best when your mortgage rate is low

Cash-out refinance

Replace your mortgage with a new one and receive the difference in cash, with one monthly payment.

Often best when your rate is near today's rates

Self-banking mortgage

A first-lien line of credit with built-in checking. Your paycheck lowers your balance every day, reducing interest.

Often best with strong monthly cash flow

Frequently asked questions

Will checking my options affect my credit?

No. We only use the answers you give. We check credit only if you decide to apply.

Will I lose my low mortgage rate?

Not with a home equity line of credit. It sits behind your current mortgage, so your rate stays the same.

Should I use home equity to pay off credit cards?

It can cut your interest costs significantly, but the debt becomes secured by your home. It works best with a plan to keep card balances low. Your loan officer will walk through the tradeoffs.

Are the rates fixed?

Lines of credit have variable rates that can change. Cash-out refinances are available with fixed or adjustable rates.

See which programs your home qualifies for.

Free, takes about a minute, and no credit check.
