Home Equity Loans, also known as Line of Credit Loans – offer a revolving line
of credit secured by the available equity in your home. A home equity loan
works similarly to a bank overdraft or a credit card.
The borrower is able to make interest only repayments on the funds drawn out.
Home Equity Loans are aimed at persons already holding real-estate property
who would like instant access to their available home equity for any one of a
variety of reasons.
Most commonly Home Equity Loans are used for home renovations, investments and
even overseas holidays. The main advantage of these loans is that funds are
made available quickly and at home loan interest rates – significantly more
affordable than credit cards or personal loans.
The borrower needs to possess strong financial discipline to ensure that funds
drawn out are used wisely and the borrower is still able to make interest
repayments on the overall drawn out loan balance.
Key advantages :
The main risk attached with Lines of credit is that irresponsible borrowers
may erode all the equity in their home. However, for most home owners a line
of credit is the most cost effective loan available and are hence the most
sensible choice.
