A MORTGAGE
FOR EVERY NEED

If you own a home, you may have built up a significant amount of equity over the years. This equity can be a valuable resource that you can tap into to achieve your financial goals. There are several ways to unlock your home equity, including refinancing your mortgage, taking out a home equity line of credit (HELOC), or obtaining a reverse mortgage.

Unlock your home equity

Home Equity Refinancing

One way to unlock your home equity is through refinancing your mortgage. If you have a high-interest-rate mortgage or a longer loan term, refinancing can help you save money on your monthly payments and pay off your mortgage faster.

You can also choose a cash-out refinance, which allows you to borrow more money than you owe on your mortgage and use the excess cash for any purpose you choose. This can be a good option if you have high-interest debt that you want to consolidate or if you have a major expense coming up (such as home renovations or education costs).

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is another way to access your home equity. A HELOC works like a credit card, allowing you to borrow money as you need it and pay it back over time.

This can be a flexible option if you have ongoing expenses, such as home improvements or tuition payments. Just be aware that a HELOC typically has a variable interest rate, which means your monthly payments may fluctuate depending on market conditions.

Second and Third Mortgages

If you need to borrow a large sum of money and you have a lot of equity in your home, you may be able to take out a second or third mortgage.

These types of loans are typically used for major expenses, such as home renovations or investment properties. Keep in mind that taking out a second or third mortgage means you will have multiple monthly payments to manage, and it may increase your overall debt load.

Reverse Mortgage

If you are 55 or older and have a lot of equity in your home, you may be eligible for a reverse mortgage. A reverse mortgage allows you to borrow money against the value of your home and receive the funds as a lump sum, a line of credit, or monthly payments.

You do not have to make any payments on the loan until you sell the home or pass away, at which point the loan (plus interest) is due.

A reverse mortgage can be a good option if you need a steady stream of income in retirement or if you want to stay in your home but have difficulty paying your mortgage. However, it is important to carefully consider the costs and risks associated with a reverse mortgage before deciding if it is the right choice for you.
