A home equity line of credit, also called a “HELOC,” is a second mortgage that gives you access to a pool of cash. The best reason to get a home equity line of credit is for something like a major repair or remodeling project that increases the value of your home. WPCCU can make your home improvement projects or life's big events more affordable – it may be where the smart borrowing is, too!
Much like a credit card that allows you to borrow against your spending limit as often as needed, a HELOC gives you the flexibility to borrow against your home equity, repay and repeat. As you pay back what you borrow, the line becomes available for you to use again. If you've lived in your home for many years, you may have equity built up that can help you finance large purchases or ongoing expenses or consolidate debt through a home equity line of credit. HELOCs are attractive for many homeowners because interest rates are typically lower than other loans, and the interest paid may be tax-deductible.**
With a HELOC, you take out money a little bit at a time as needed to handle expenses—perfect for paying contractors as jobs are completed during a remodeling project and can even be a lifesaver if you need funds quickly when emergency savings aren't enough.
Magically make your wishes come true with a HELOC.
