A fixed-rate mortgage is a popular home loan option that provides stable monthly payments for a set term of 10 to 30 years. These loans can usually be repaid early without penalties and are structured for full repayment.
Even with a fixed-rate mortgage, your payment may change if you have an escrow account. Lenders often collect extra funds for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and mortgage insurance. These amounts are deposited into the escrow account to cover future costs. If these expenses adjust, your total payment may increase or decrease. However, the principal and interest portion of a fixed-rate mortgage will always remain steady.
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a flexible way to borrow against your home’s equity. It works like a credit card, allowing you to withdraw funds as needed during the draw period. You only pay interest on what you use, making it ideal for ongoing projects, home improvements, or unexpected expenses. HELOCs typically have variable interest rates, so monthly payments may fluctuate. Many also offer interest-only payment options during the draw period, keeping initial costs low. If you need ongoing access to funds with flexibility, a HELOC could be the right choice for you.
A Home Equity Loan (HELOAN) provides a lump sum of money upfront with a fixed interest rate and predictable monthly payments. It’s a great option for large, one-time expenses like major renovations, debt consolidation, or medical bills. Since the interest rate is fixed, your payments remain stable, making it easier to budget. If you prefer a structured repayment plan and a one-time payout, a HELOAN offers a straightforward borrowing solution.
