You may be looking for some extra money to
fix up the house, go on a vacation or buy a new
car, and you want to take some equity from your
home to do it. To do this you could either
refinance your home and take some of your equity
or apply for an equity line of credit instead.
The question is which one is right for you?
There are some things to consider about both
options when determining how you should obtain
the money.
Refinance Your Home
-Are you currently paying a high interest rate
and would like to reduce it?
-Does your lending company charge closing costs
or points to refinance?
-Consider that you will be borrowing this money
and be paying interest on the full borrowed
amount for the duration of your mortgage
-Is the interest tax deductible? Speak with your
tax advisor.
Equity Line of Credit
-You are only charged interest for the money you
take out.
-You may repay the minimum amount or additional
monies without penalty.
-What are the interest rates? Are they lower
then the current mortgage rates?
-Are there any fees associated with opening an
equity line of credit with our financial
institution?
-Is the interest tax deductible? Speak with your
tax advisor.
The increase in the real estate market has
provided people the opportunity to borrow money
against their residences to generate cash for
the things they need. Financial institutions are
making it easier for people with equity in their
homes to borrow money. If you are looking for
extra money and own a home, you may want to
consider one of the two options, either
refinance your existing mortgage or take an
equity line of credit against your home.
