It depends on your home's appraised value and existing mortgage balance. Most lenders cap combined debt at 80% of your home's value.

No. A HELoan is a separate second mortgage. Your original loan terms stay exactly as they are.

It may be deductible if you use funds to buy, build, or substantially improve the home. Talk to a tax advisor for your specific situation.
