Greenfield homeowners have built real equity over the years. A HELOC lets you draw on that equity without refinancing your first mortgage.
A HELOC works like a credit card secured by your home. You draw funds during a set period, then repay what you used.

Most lenders want at least 20% equity remaining after the HELOC. That means your combined loan balances can't exceed 80% of your home's value.
Lenders also check your credit score and debt-to-income ratio. A 680 or higher credit score puts you in a stronger position.
Big banks offer HELOCs, but their terms aren't always competitive. Wholesale lenders often beat them on rates and fees.
At SRK CAPITAL, we shop HELOC products across 200+ wholesale lenders. Greenfield borrowers get options, not just one bank's offer.
HELOCs have variable rates. When rates climb, your payment goes up — plan for that before you draw.
The draw period is usually 10 years. After that, repayment kicks in and the full balance is due over time. Know your exit before you start.
A Home Equity Loan gives you a fixed lump sum at a fixed rate. A HELOC gives you flexibility — draw and repay on your schedule.
If you know exactly what you need, a HELoan may win. If costs are spread over time — like a remodel — a HELOC usually makes more sense.
Greenfield sits in Monterey County's Salinas Valley. Agriculture drives the local economy, which can mean seasonal income patterns.
Lenders scrutinize variable income closely for HELOCs. If your income fluctuates, we'll match you with lenders who underwrite that sensibly.
It depends on your home's appraised value and existing mortgage balance. Most lenders allow up to 80% of combined loan-to-value.
Yes, though some lenders waive them. Compare the full cost — not just the rate — before choosing a lender.
Generally yes. Home improvements, debt consolidation, and education costs are common uses. Lenders don't usually restrict how you spend.
The line closes and repayment begins. You'll pay principal plus interest on the outstanding balance over the remaining term.
Not necessarily. HELOCs keep your first mortgage intact, which can be an advantage if your current rate is low.
Some lenders average two years of tax returns to qualify you. Others accept bank statements. We find the right fit.
