The Basics

What is a HELOC?

A Home Equity Line of Credit lets you borrow against the equity in your home while keeping your existing primary mortgage in place. Rather than a lump sum, you get a revolving line: draw what you need during the draw period, pay interest only on what you've used, and repay over time. It's a flexible way to fund renovations, consolidate high-interest debt, or keep a reserve ready.

Good Questions

HELOC FAQs.

What's a HELOC?
A Home Equity Line of Credit lets you borrow against the equity in your home — draw what you need, when you need it. With House of Mortgage, flexible rate options are available; your advisor helps you choose the structure that fits.
Does this touch my first mortgage?
No. A HELOC is a separate lien that sits behind your existing mortgage, so your first-mortgage rate, term, and payment stay exactly as they are.
How much can I borrow?
Lines are available up to $750,000, subject to your combined loan-to-value, credit profile, and income. Most programs allow borrowing up to a set percentage of your home's value minus what you still owe on your first mortgage.
Will checking my rate hurt my credit?
No. Checking your rate uses a soft credit pull that does not affect your score. If you choose to continue your application, a full credit report (hard pull) is required and may affect your credit.
How fast can I get funded?
Many borrowers receive a preliminary result in about 5 minutes and funding in as few as 5 days after approval, depending on verification, title, and any required rescission period.
What are my rate options?
Both variable-rate lines and fixed-rate draw options may be available depending on your scenario. Variable rates can increase after closing; your advisor will walk through how each structure affects your payment.

Tap into what you've built.

Your equity is ready when you are. Check your rate in minutes — soft pull only, no SSN required to see your options.

Important rate & fee disclosures

Using a soft credit pull to check rates only will not affect your credit score. However, if you choose a product and continue your application, we will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may affect your credit.

Variable rates may increase after closing. APRs and rates vary by credit profile, combined loan-to-value, and line characteristics and are subject to credit approval. Lines are secured by a first or second lien on an owner-occupied primary residence. Origination and third-party fees may apply; no separate administrative or processing fees. A draw period is followed by a repayment period, and minimum payments during the draw period may not reduce principal. Interest may or may not be tax-deductible; consult a tax advisor. Not a commitment to lend.
