Home equity loans & lines of credit

Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit

Your home can be a great source of cash. The equity in your home — the difference between what you owe and the market value — can be used for home improvement projects, education expenses or a trip of a lifetime. A home equity loan is best for a single, lump-sum expense. A home equity line of credit is ideal for ongoing projects or expenses.
