Question 1

How much can I borrow with a HELoan in Stanton?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders cap borrowing at 80% of your home's value minus your first mortgage balance. Some go to 90% with strong credit.

Question 2

Will my interest rate change over time?

Accepted Answer

No. HELoans carry a fixed rate locked at closing. Your payment stays the same for the life of the loan.

Question 3

How long does a HELoan take to close?

Accepted Answer

Most HELoans close in 3 to 6 weeks. An appraisal is typically required, which adds time.

Question 4

Can I use a HELoan to pay off credit card debt?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and many Stanton borrowers do exactly that. It converts high-rate revolving debt into a lower fixed-rate payment.

Question 5

Does a HELoan affect my existing mortgage?

Accepted Answer

No. It sits as a second lien behind your first. Your first mortgage terms stay exactly as they are.

Question 6

What credit score do I need to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders start at 620. Higher scores qualify for better rates. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
