If you have a mortgage in the 3s or 4s, it may be one of your most valuable financial assets.

So if you need to access equity in your house, why refinance all of that beautifully cheap debt just to borrow a little more?

For years, HELOCs through the broker world had one big advantage—and one big disadvantage.

Our advantage was speed. Our disadvantage was rate.

That’s changing.

I wrote about why HELOCs suddenly deserve another look, about why a lot of loan officers DON'T advertise them, and about why the math in favor of a HELOC can be pretty compelling in today’s market. 👇

Broker HELOCs used to mean choosing between speed and rate. Here's why that is changing, and why your 3% mortgage is worth protecting when you need cash.
