What is the Difference Between a Home Equity Loan
and a Line of Credit?

  • The primary benefit of homeownership is building
    up your equity. Your property can increase your
    wealth over time. This increase only comes about
    when you sell your home or borrow against it. 
    When it comes to borrowing the money, there are
    many options to choose fromhowever, we will
    focus mainly on home equity loans(HELOANs) and
    home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). Each loan
    will have advantages and disadvantages, so choose
    wisely.  As these options are both forms of
    credit, we would look ateverything credit  fix
    my credit score,buildmy credit score, improvemy
    credit score, and boost my credit score.

  • To begin with, you need to know your credit
    score.  Once you have determined this, you can
    start fixing/building your credit score.  Then
    you can find ways to boost your credit score!
  • A Home Equity Loanis paid out to you in a lump
    sum.  You and your bank agree on an amount, and
    you receive the amount in a single transaction. 
    Considerations include the following
  • Spending You can receive a large sum of money in
    one go.  This amount will fund any
    significantexpenses that you may have and can be
    kept in your checking account. Keeping these
    funds in your checking account and using the
    funds directly from there will enable you to
    build a credit history, which is paramount for
    improving your credit score.

5
  • Payment These payments are made through monthly
    payments.  The payment amount and interest should
    remain constant.  The bank will set up a payment
    schedule for you that includes any interest
    incurred.  These regular payments that are paid
    on time EVERY month will allow you to fix your
    credit score.
  • Interest rates Fixed interest rates assist with
    scheduled, predictable payments, which,in
    turn,allows you to plan accordingly. On account
    of there being no surprises, building up your
    credit score with this feature is an excellent
    perk.
  • Interest cost Interest is charged on your entire
    loan amount and will be highest at the start of
    your loan. 

6
  • A Home Equity Line of Credit has a flexible
    offering.  It provides amaximum limit on which
    you and your bank have agreed.  You are allowed
    to draw from thefunds multiple times, and it
    works much like a credit card.  This procedure,
    too, will be of enormous value when looking for
    ways to improve your credit score.  Cash is being
    used when you make the withdrawal.  In turn, cash
    is being replaced when you make the payment,
    granting you the ability to continue to build
    your credit history.  Considerations include the
    following
  • Spending Typically, you will have a 10-year
    window from which to draw.  You can withdraw
    funds as many times as you need. Examples of
    methods to access these funds are as follows 
    write a check, transfer a sum into your checking
    account, or use a card linked to the loan.Using
    the money only as and when you need it is an
    excellent way to boost your credit score,
    enabling you to keep a close eye on your money
    and using youravailable credit when necessary.

  • Payment During the loan, you can make
    small interest-only payments on the allocated
    debt before you start your repayment period. 
    When the repayment period begins, no withdrawals
    may take place. Timeous, regular payments will
    blaze the trail for boosting your credit score. 
  • Interest rates These rates will vary, but if the
    rates rise, so will your costs.
  • Interest costs These costs can be kept at a
    minimal rate if you use the money only as and
    when you need it. 
  • The borrowing amount is,for the most part, the
    same for both.   In most instances, your bank
    will allow you to borrow up to 85 (which will
    have an incredible impact on building your credit
    score),and this will include any existing debt
    that you may have.  There may be instances that
    allow you to borrow more than 85. However,
    should you choose to do so, you will incur higher
    interest rates and costs.

When a HELOC is chosen over a HELOAN and vice
versa
  • HELOC
  • Flexibility
  • There is no need to apply every time you require
    funding.
  • Over the ten years, you can withdraw and repay as
    often as is required, assuring you of a maximum
    available credit at all times.  This access will
    be fantastic for a credit score boost. 
  • Interest loans minimized
  • When you borrow money, you pay interest. Should
    the funds go untouched, no interest is levied,
    thereby improving your credit score.

  • HELOAN
  • Predictability
  • A payment schedule is arranged for you, and you
    know ahead of time what your monthly payments are
    for the duration of the loan. The ability with
    features to build your credit score is
    enormous.   Not only can you build your credit
    score, but you can lay the foundation for
    repairing your credit score. 
  • Consolidation of debt
  • Car loans and credit cards can be risky if you
    use your home as collateral.  You may increase
    your secured debt, which is not the desired goal.

  • By comparing the two options, a home equity loan
    (fixed) versus a home equity line of credit, you
    will soon learn which option will suit your needs
    better.  A HELOC is best for upcoming expenses
    that are not set in stone, while a HELOAN is
    apreferred choice when you have a set amount to
    pay.
  • Upon understanding the difference, choosing
    between these two options should be carried out
    hand-in-hand with various offers received from
    various banks.   Two to three offers minimum
    should allow you to make an informed decision
    when looking at banks that offer the lowest
    interest rates and the fewest fees, saving you
    money in the long run.  When choosing any
    financial products, having an arsenal of options
    will ensure that you make the best decision for
    YOU. Contact us 844-829-2292
