What does this mean for you? Rates on loans will be more affordable, giving you more borrowing power. One of the most affordable ways to borrow is with a home equity line of credit (HELOC). Learn how to apply for this loan and the different ways you can use your home’s equity to save big money.
Almost all financial institutions offer HELOCs. Very few give you the power to borrow and save more.
When you choose Arsenal, you can borrow up to 100 percent of your built-up equity. Most lenders allow between 60 to 80 percent. This extra boost gives you more room to expand your budget on big home projects or debt consolidations.
Closing costs on HELOCS include things like appraisal, title, flood certification and recording fees. They typically cost between $500 to $1,500. You pay nothing when you apply with us.
How do I apply for a home equity loan?
Just visit our home equity page and fill out this quick form. A home equity specialist will reach back to you shortly with more information on how to fill out your electronic application. Or, you can email home equity specialist, Tracey Fleischman, directly.
If you do decide to use credit cards for holiday shopping, or if you have high-interest credit card debt from the past, a HELOC is a low-rate option for consolidating.
A HELOC can help you “merge” all of your credit card payments into a lower monthly bill. In fact, after applying for your loan, we’ll take care of mailing final payments to your prior creditors and closing any accounts.
