Why Choose a HELOC?

HELOCs offer unmatched flexibility for borrowers who need ongoing access to capital.

Only Pay for What You Use

Borrow only the amount you need when you need it. Interest is charged only on amounts you've drawn.

Flexibility

Access funds multiple times during the draw period. Use it like a credit card, but with lower interest rates.

Lower Interest Rates

HELOCs typically have lower rates than credit cards or personal loans because they're secured by your home.

How a HELOC Works

Draw Period (Typically 5-10 Years)

Access your credit line by writing checks, using a debit card, or making transfers. You make interest-only or interest plus principal payments.

Repayment Period (Typically 10-20 Years)

After the draw period ends, you can no longer access new funds. You pay down your balance through regular principal and interest payments.

Interest Rates

Most HELOCs have variable interest rates that adjust based on market conditions. Some offer fixed-rate options for portions of the balance.

When a HELOC Makes Sense

Home Improvement Projects

Fund renovations, repairs, or expansions over time as projects progress. Draw only what you need for each phase.

Business Financing

Use your home's equity to fund a business startup or expansion. Access funds as business opportunities emerge.

Education Expenses

Pay for college tuition and expenses as they're incurred, drawing what you need each semester or year.

Emergency Reserve

Keep a HELOC open as a safety net for major unexpected expenses without touching it unless needed.

Debt Consolidation

Consolidate multiple debts into one payment with a lower interest rate, then maintain access for future needs.

Ongoing Property Maintenance

Have flexible access to funds for periodic maintenance and improvements as your rental properties age.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A HELOC is a revolving credit line—you can draw and repay multiple times. A home equity loan is a lump sum you receive upfront. HELOCs offer flexibility; home equity loans offer simplicity and predictable payments.

Are HELOC rates fixed or variable? +

Most HELOCs have variable rates that change with market conditions, usually based on the Prime Rate. Some lenders offer options to convert portions to fixed rates. We'll explain the rate structure for your HELOC.

Can I apply for a HELOC with less-than-perfect credit? +

Yes. TRI-GLOBAL EQUITIES works with borrowers with credit challenges. If you have significant home equity, we can often find a solution. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

What happens when the draw period ends? +

When the draw period ends (typically after 5-10 years), you can no longer access new funds. You'll transition to the repayment period and begin paying principal and interest to pay off any balance.

What if I don't use the full HELOC amount? +

Perfect! With a HELOC, you only pay interest on what you've drawn. If you don't use the full amount, you pay nothing on the unused portion. This makes HELOCs ideal for building a financial safety net.
