Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Will a HELoan affect my first mortgage rate?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

How long does a HELoan take to close?

Accepted Answer

Typically 3 to 6 weeks. An appraisal is usually required, which adds time.

Question 4

Is interest on a HELoan tax deductible?

Accepted Answer

It may be, if the funds are used for home improvements. Talk to your tax advisor — we can't give tax advice.

Question 5

Yes. Lenders typically want 2 years of tax returns to verify income. Some wholesale lenders accept bank statements instead.

Question 6

What credit score do I need for a HELoan?
