5 Uses for a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A Home Equity Line of Credit or HELOC is a revolving line of credit secured by a home’s value that the borrower can access as needed. That’s right a HELOC allows you to withdraw funds as needed. So, you’ll only pay interest on the funds you withdraw. 

In today’s economy your home could be worth a nice chunk of money, so you may want to tap into that asset by taking out a HELOC.

How can you use that HELOC? There are so many ways!

#1: FUND HOME RENOVATIONS
By far, the most popular use for home equity is funding home improvements. Give your kitchen a major facelift, build that extension you’ve been dreaming of or put in a sparkling blue pool!

#2: TAKE THAT DREAM VACATION
That luxury cruise you’ve always drooled over, or that summer jaunt through Europe, can now be a reality!

#3: PAY YOUR CHILD’S COLLEGE TUITION
You don’t need to go into deep student loan debt for your kid’s education. Instead, tap into your home’s equity to cover those tuition bills and pay it all back at a steady and manageable pace.

#4: ADOPT A CHILD
Have you held back on your dreams of adopting a child because of a lack of funds? Well, nothing’s holding you back now!

#5 START A NEW BUSINESS
Is a lack of start-up cash stopping you from hanging up your shingle? Tap into your home’s equity to make your business dreams come true!
