Overview
Assisting Our Membership With COVID-19 Uncertainty
We understand the uncertainty during this unprecedented time and want to let you know about some of the proactive measures our mortgage department has in place to continue to support and
serve our customers.Home Equity Line of Credit
You have worked hard to establish your home’s equity; now you need that equity to work for you.
A home equity line of credit, known as a HELOC, is an open-ended loan. It works like a credit card, but in this case it is a line of credit extended to you based on your home’s value minus the mortgage due on the home. Additionally, HELOC’s are extended based on your good credit.
With a HELOC, you can use the funds to make home improvements, pay for significant expenses, and even cover a child’s college tuition. Most importantly, you take advantage of the credit line when you need it, pay it off, and use it again if you need to without having to reapply. Further, you can access your home equity in a cinch.
Apply now from your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or in person with one of our friendly loan officers. More questions? Contact Mortgage Loans at 907-459-5974.
