Questions about Home Equity Loans and HELOCs

Main

With a home equity line of credit (HELOC), you get the flexibility to withdraw money as you need it up to a predetermined credit limit and repay the loan over a fixed term. Typically HELOCs have a variable interest rate that can increase or decrease over time. Generally, there is a fixed "draw" period, during which you may with draw funds, repay them or a portion of them up to a credit limit, similar to a revolving credit card. During the draw period, many lenders permit you to make interest-only payments.  After the draw period ends, you can no longer request funds and are required to repay the outstanding balance over the remaining term of the loan. By contrast, a home equity loan gives you all of your funds upfront in a lump sum and usually comes with a fixed interest rate and monthly payment that never change for the life of the loan. Discover offers home equity loans and mortgage refinances instead of HELOCs.

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a type of credit account that lets you borrow money against the value of your home. Because the money you borrow is a secured debt that uses your home as collateral, you can typically obtain a lower interest rate on a HELOC or other home equity loan than you could get for other types of consumer loans.

Main

Please note: Discover Home Loans offers a home equity loan product, but does not offer HELOCs.

 

With a HELOC, a lender issues you a certain amount of credit based on the value of your home and the amount of money you still owe on your mortgage. This is a flexible option to help you unlock some of the cash value of your home and use that money for other purchases. Many people use HELOC funds to pay for home repairs and renovations, to pay off other, higher interest debts, to make major one-time purchases or for other financial goals. Unlike a traditional home equity loan (HEL), where you receive all of the money at once as a lump sum and then you repay the loan with fixed payments, a HELOC allows you to access an ongoing line of credit. That way you can withdraw as much or as little money as you want (within the limit of the line of credit)—paying interest on only what you withdraw—and then pay back the money on a flexible basis.

Main

With Discover, you will not have to pay any application fees, origination fees, or appraisal fees. Since a home equity loan or mortgage refinance is a secured debt, the average interest rate is typically lower than what you'll pay on an average credit card or other form of unsecured debt.

Main

A fixed interest rate on your home equity loan means you will make stable and predictable interest payments towards your loan balance for the life of the loan. While, with a variable interest rate, your interest rate and payment can change over time due to a variety of factors.

When you apply for your loan, loan options you receive with variable interest rates often start with lower rates than options with fixed rates, making them more attractive. However, because variable interest rates can change over time, your original variable rate may be pushed higher during your repayment period.

Main

First, calculate the amount of equity you have in your home and how much you can borrow using our Loan Amount Calculator.

Next, use our Monthly Payment Calculator to see what your monthly payment could be. It’s also a good idea to use our Debt Consolidation Calculator to see how much you could save each month by consolidating debts with your loan.

Now that you know how much you may be able to borrow and how your loan will affect your financial situation, you can submit your home equity loan application with more confidence in getting approved.

Mortgage providers will base the home equity loan options you receive on your available equity, income, debt, and credit history. Compare the loan amounts, rates, terms, and fees of these options to make an informed decision about the best one for you.
