A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a second mortgage that uses your home as collateral to allow you to borrow up to a certain amount over time rather than an up-front lump sum.  A HELOC is a revolving credit line. You only accrue interest on the amount you borrow. HELOCs are commonly used for home improvement projects. 

HELOC borrowers who are finished borrowing and are focused on paying down their loan may choose to refinance to a closed-end home equity loan.

A bridge loan is a short-term loan that can serve as a source of funding until buyers receive permanent financing or pay off debt. Bridge loans give homebuyers the ability to use their home’s equity to purchase a new home before they have sold their existing home.

Refinancing

Many homeowners find that once they've paid down their mortgage to a certain amount, refinancing sometimes results in a lower monthly payment. Contact our mortgage lending team to determine if refinancing is right for you.
