Your Guide to HELOCs: Flexible Financing for Life’s Big Projects

May 21, 2025 | News

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a flexible borrowing option that uses the equity you’ve built in your home to fund major expenses. Unlike a traditional loan, a HELOC works more like a credit card—you borrow what you need, when you need it.

Common uses for a HELOC include:

  • Home renovations and repairs
  • Travel, weddings, etc.
  • Consolidating higher-interest debt
  • Covering unexpected expenses

Why choose a HELOC?

  • You only pay interest on what you borrow.
  • Interest rates are often lower than credit cards or personal loans.
  • It’s a reusable line of credit—you can borrow, repay, and borrow again.
