01How does an home equity loan work?
Home equity loans work differently than traditional loans, acting as a line of credit. This means that the bank will approve to borrow up to a certain amount of your home, but your equity in the home stands as collateral for the loan. The interest rates are lower than they would be with a credit card.
02What’s needed for a home equity loan?
Many lenders require good to excellent credit ratings to qualify for home equity loans. A score of 620 or higher is recommended for a home equity loan, and you may need an even higher score to qualify for a home equity line of credit.
