Open-Ended Loans (HELOC)

A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is another. HELOCs work like this: The lender approves you for a certain amount of credit based on a percentage of your home’s appraised value, minus the balance owed on your mortgage. The sum acts as a credit line you can borrow from, pay back and borrow from again. Homeowners renovating their home may want to consider this option to fund the project.
