Did you know you could leverage your homes equity to work for you? There are 3 ways to access your equity.
1. Cash-out Refinance
Let’s say you owe $200K and your home qualifies for a $300K loan.
You replace your current mortgage and take $100K in cash.
👉 One new loan, one monthly payment, new terms.
2. HELOAN/Second Mortgage
Same scenario, but instead of replacing your mortgage, you add a second loan on top of it.
👉 Keep your current rate, access your equity as a lump sum.
👉 Two loans, two monthly payments.
3. Home Equity Line of Credit aka HELOC
Instead of a lump sum, you open a line of credit against your equity.
👉 Use funds when you need them during the draw period
👉 Typically make interest-only payments at first
👉 Then repay principal + interest after the draw period ends
