Refinancing through a home equity line of credit (HELOC) is useful if you want to extend your draw period so that you can get more favorable loan terms.
With rapidly rising home values, and comparatively low interest rates let us learn more about how refinancing a HELOC could benefit you.
If you are able to save money, save interest, and pay off your debt within a comfortable, structured situation it will let you live a more peaceful and happier life.
A HELOC qualification is the same as any form of loan or credit. Have a stunner credit score so lenders are confident of you paying your bills on time.
Another factor to pay attention to is your loan-to-equity ratio. ie. the value of your home after you subtract any existing loans against the home.
The ideal ratio is 80-20 where they will lend up to 80% of the equity.
Then comes your income. Do you make enough to consistently pay your loan? If you have a joint income from your spouse you will qualify with better rates.
Weigh down your financial position before getting into any type of commitment. Because you could lose out on your home in case of defaulting the payment.
