Home Equity Loans are ideal for expenses with established budgets and timelines, as the funds are dispersed in a lump sum. They also come at a fixed rate, offering more predictability. You’ll know the exact amount of each payment for the life of your loan.

Loan amounts from $25,000 – $250,000 or more

Terms up to 15 years

Variable Rate As Low As

A Home Equity Line of Credit is your return on the investment in your home. You use your home’s equity to put cash on hand for whatever you want, whenever you need it. HELOCs can be an excellent choice for ongoing expenses or projects that can take time to complete. This option gives borrowers the flexibility to draw funds as needed. Additionally, HELOCs usually come with an adjustable interest rate, so you’ll only pay interest on the money you use.

Credit lines from $25,000 – $250,000 or more

Initial advance of $5,000, no minimum for subsequent advances

What’s the difference between a Home Equity Loan and a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)?

Home Equity Loans provide a lump sum loan payout, so they’re best for expenses with established budgets and timelines. They come with a fixed interest rate, and interest is charged starting with the first loan payment.

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) are revolving credit lines used to pay for things over time, so they’re ideal for ongoing expenses or those with evolving budgets. HELOCs usually come with an adjustable interest rate, and you only pay interest on the money you use.

How much money can I borrow with these loans?

TEGFCU Home Equity Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit are available starting from $25,000. We offer home equity loans/lines of credit up to a competitive percentage of appraised value. Amounts may vary as they’re determined by a competitive combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio that’s based on the property evaluation.

Are there tax advantages with a HELOC or Home Equity Loan?

The interest you pay on the loan may be tax-deductible. But it’s always best to consult with an accountant or tax professional.
