A home equity line of credit from FNB1 is a revolving line of credit. This means you have a set amount of money available to borrow — with the flexibility to take what you need as you need it. When you repay your balance, the credit line is freed up to borrow again. With this type of loan, you only pay interest on the amount you use during the draw period.
With a Home Equity Line of Credit, you are borrowing against the available equity in your home, and your house is used as collateral. Lines of credit allow you to borrow up to a certain amount, rather than a set dollar amount. As you repay your outstanding balance, the amount of available credit is replenished, meaning you can borrow against it again and again.
The time period which you are allowed to borrow during is called the draw period and is typically seven years. The repayment period begins at the end of the draw period. Monthly payments during the draw period are interest only but become principal and interest during the repayment period.
In order to qualify for a Home Equity Line of Credit, you first need to have equity in your home. This means that the value of your home must be greater than the amount you owe on your home. This difference in the amount your home is worth and how much you owe is called "equity." Typically, you can borrow up to 85% of your home's value less the amount you owe on your home. Other factors such as credit score, employment history, monthly debt payments and income are also considered.
