If you own a home and are looking to borrow money, consider the benefits of a home equity loan or line of credit.

 Home Equity loans and lines can be used to pay for a variety of things including home renovations, consolidating debt, college tuition, major purchases and more. 

Consider the benefits.

A Home Equity loan or line of credit gives you cash that you can use any way you wish. You can:

• Borrow up to 89.9% of the fair market value of your home.
• Interest rates are typically lower than credit cards and other loans.
• The interest paid may be tax-deductible; consult a tax professional to assess your situation

Understand the risks. 

Since a Home Equity loan uses your home as collateral, you also need to consider potential risks:

• You can lose your home for missing payments.
• The maximum amount borrowed is a portion of your home's value which is determined by the market so if the market takes a down turn you can owe more than your house is worth.

Take the next step.
