HELOC

A home equity line of credit, commonly referred to as a HELOC, is a line of credit that allows you to tap into the equity of your home to access those funds. Similar to a credit card, you can borrow funds up to a set limit throughout the “draw period” or set time limit. These funds can be used to consolidate loans, pay off other debt, home improvement projects, and more.
