It’s easier to plan ahead for the future when you have the funds. Sharonview’s Home Equity loan (HELOAN) is dispersed in a lump-sum with a fixed interest rate and payment. If you know what you need to spend—whether consolidating debt or completing home projects—a HELOAN may work for you! 

Let’s look at the details:

  • Fixed interested rate and term
  • Terms from 10-20 years for easier repayment
  • Funds disbursed at time of funding
  • No penalty for early payoff!

What You Need to Know

A Home Equity Line of Credit is a credit line that uses your home as collateral. It functions like a credit card, a revolving credit line where you only borrow what you need at that particular moment of purchase. It allows you to pay it down and borrow again as needed. It can also be used for any reason, not just for the home. It is different from a second mortgage that requires you pay interest on a lump sum for the life of the loan and the money could only be used towards a single purpose. Many people use a HELOC to:

- Improve or repair the home
- Consolidate debt at a lower interest rate
- Pay education expenses
- Cover life expenses, like a wedding or a used car for your child
- And for many other reasons, because you are not limited to any particular type of purchases
- Interest rate tends to be lower than a credit card
- More flexible than a second mortgage
- Only take money out when you need it
- Home improvement expenses can be tax deductible (Consult your tax advisor for details).
- Access your line with a convenient Visa debit card
- Interest charges applied to the amount of the line used
- Ideal for when you don't need to all the money at once
- Minimum credit limit is $15,000. Maximum credit limit can go up to $350,000, but cannot exceed 90% of the appraised value of your home. Call us if you need additional options.
- You can continue to make additional purchases with the debit card and borrow up to the maximum credit limit, but you are not required to do so.
- Minimum monthly payment amounts may vary, and are determined by the amount you currently owe on the line of credit.
- The application process is similar to a mortgage, because your home is used as collateral to secure the loan. It may require a home assessment to determine its value.
- Primary Residences only. Vacation Homes and Investment Properties are not eligible.
