You may literally be sitting on a pile of cash. A Wyoming Home
Equity Loan can help get the cash out of the ground and into your
hands thanks to a little thing called equity.
What is home equity?
Home equity is the difference between the amount you owe on your
home and the amount your home is worth. Homes appreciate in value
over time as you continually pay off the principal of the loan.
These two factors increase the "equity" of your home.
There have been times where the value of a home has doubled or tripled
in value in a few short years. This can drastically increase your
home equity.
What is a home equity loan or HELOC?
A home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a second
mortgage that allows you to borrow the money tied up as equity.
What you do with the money is up to you. You could spend it on improvements
and further increase the value of your home or put it into a high
yield investment account and have it make you even more money. It
is also not uncommon to see the money go to higher education costs
or medical bills.
Home equity loan vs. HELOC, what is the difference?
A home equity loan is a one-time sum of money that is paid back
in fixed amounts over the length of the loan. A HELOC is a line
of credit and money can be withdrawn at intervals and works much
in the same way as a credit card. You can pay only the interest,
or you can pay off the principal as you see fit. Lenders will often
issue a credit card for a HELOC and it works the same way. The difference
is that you are borrowing money from your own equity.
HELOC vs. a credit card?
If a HELOC works just like a credit card, why not just continue
to use credit cards? There are some key differences that make a
HELOC more attractive.
- Interest paid on a
mortgage is tax deductible; interest paid on a credit card is
not.
-
Interest rates are typically lower on a HELOC because it is secured
with your house as collateral. This makes it less of a risk for
lenders and they can in turn provide better rates.
Mortgage debt is considered good debt, if fact, it is the best debt
you can hold. Maxed out credit cards have and adverse effect on
your credit score while mortgage debt will actually help your credit
score
Is it difficult to get this type of financing?
The short answer is no, not with our help. You will need an appraisal
to get an accurate estimate on your property value. You also will
need to have your income verified, but since you already have a
mortgage out, it is not a big deal to secure additional financing.
