Section 23 of 72

Home equity loans allow homeowners to borrow money using the equity they have built up in their property as collateral. A specific and popular version of this is the Home Equity Line of Credit, or HELOC. Unlike a standard loan where the borrower receives a lump sum of cash, a HELOC functions more like a credit card. The lender approves a maximum credit limit, and the borrower can draw money out, pay it back, and draw it out again as needed during a set "draw period." The borrower only pays interest on the money they have actually used, making it a flexible tool for funding renovations or consolidating debt.
