Home Equity Line of Credit

What is A HELOC?

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a line of credit which is attached to your property. The difference between what you owe on your property and the market value of your property, represents the “equity” in that property. And if you have equity, then a HELOC provides you with easy and timely access to this equity.
