Frequently asked questions

A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is a revolving line of credit. Instead of receiving a one-time loan amount as you do with a traditional loan, a HELOC gives you a borrowing limit (or credit limit). As you repay the balance, you can withdraw money from the credit line as you would with a credit card when you need it.

Your monthly HELOC payment depends on your loan amount, interest rate, and other factors. Use our HELOC calculator to estimate your monthly cost and see how different amounts or terms could affect your payment.

There are lenders that offer both variable rate and fixed interest rate home equity lines of credit. Bold Mortgage offers both fixed and variable options so you can choose the option that works best for you. A fixed-interest rate HELOC can provide payment predictability and peace of mind for borrowers. A variable-interest rate can change over time and follows the market. Some months your payment could be higher, and some months it could be lower.

To qualify for a HELOC, you must have sufficient equity in your home, meaning the amount you owe must be less than the home’s current value. Lenders typically allow borrowing up to 85% of the home’s value minus what you owe. Besides equity, lenders consider factors like credit score, credit history, employment, income, debt payments, and debt-to-income ratio to determine approval, credit line amount, and interest rate. The qualification process is similar to applying for a mortgage, so it’s important to research and ensure you meet specific lender requirements before applying.

You may be able to deduct interest paid on a home equity product if the loan is used for home improvement. You should consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest and charges.

Most applicants can complete the application in 5 minutes and you’ll receive the results of your prequalification request immediately. However, final approval is subject to verification of income and employment, as well as the condition of the property.

A home equity loan provides a lump sum with fixed payments and interest, usually over 5 to 20 years, and is often used for major home repairs or debt consolidation. In contrast, a traditional HELOC offers a flexible credit line for ongoing expenses, allowing you to borrow as needed over a set period. Bold Mortgage’s HELOC gives you the full amount upfront with fixed1: Navigates to numbered disclaimer or variable8: Navigates to numbered disclaimer interest rate options, but like a traditional HELOC, you can borrow again once part of the principal is repaid.
