Mortgage Tips by Jerry Sims
Home Equity Line of Credit
The home equity mortgage is secured with your property and provides you with an easy and affordable revolving Line of Credit that allows you to use the equity in your home to borrow money. With this type of Line of Credit, you can have access to up to 80% (or more) of the appraised value or purchase price of your home (whichever is lower), less any prior outstanding mortgage charges. Where you have both a fixed rate mortgage and a LOC, some lenders offer a feature where as your fixed rate mortgage balance decreases, your available credit on your LOC increases. You can use your available credit to:- Renovate
- Take a vacation
- Purchase a vehicle or boat
- Purchase a recreational or rental property
- Take advantage of investment opportunities
One more feature is that you can hedge your bets on the Fixed vs. Variable rate debate. By splitting your mortgage into two and having both a fixed rate portion and a Line of Credit which floats with Prime rate, you are covering all the bases.
