Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a home equity loan and a HELOC?

Home equity loan: lump sum upfront, fixed payments. HELOC: draw as needed (like credit card), variable payments. HELOC offers flexibility.

How much can I borrow against my home equity?

Typically 80-90% of home value minus mortgage balance. $500k home - $300k mortgage = $200k equity, borrow $80-160k depending on lender.

Can I use a HELOC for any purpose?

Yes. HELOC funds can be used for home improvements, debt consolidation, education, medical, investments, or any purpose. No restrictions.

Is HELOC interest tax-deductible?

Interest may be deductible if proceeds used for home improvements or rental property improvements. Interest for personal uses generally not deductible.

Home equity loans typically require 620+ credit. Todd Uzzell works with lenders offering 580+ credit with slightly higher rates.

How long does HELOC approval take?

Typically 15-30 days from application to funding. Appraisal and underwriting take time. Some lenders offer expedited processing.

What is a fixed HELOC?

Some lenders offer fixed-rate HELOCs where the interest rate is locked throughout the draw and repayment period. Protects against rate increases.

Can I get a HELOC if my home value dropped?

Challenging if equity is low. Need at least 15-20% equity for most lenders. Portfolio lenders may be flexible with lower equity.
