How Home Equity Plus Works
It’s the smart way to unlock your home’s value to pay for things you need like home improvements, education costs, debt consolidation, preparing for unexpected expenses, and more.
For example:
- You apply and are approved for $35,000 Home Equity Line of Credit
- You decide to remodel your kitchen at an estimated cost of $15,000.
- Pay for the renovations from the line of credit until the renovation is complete and the actual cost is known.
- Once the project is complete, with Home Equity Plus you can use Online Banking or the Mobile App to convert the $15,000 to a 5 or 10 year fixed loan with scheduled monthly principal and interest payments.
- You now have $15,000 locked into a fixed rate, and the remaining $20,000 balance in your line of credit is available for future needs.
- Make one monthly payment for both the fixed loan segment and any minimum payment due for the line of credit.
- As monthly principal payments are made, the available limit on the line of credit returns to the original amount.
