Home Equities


Scroll

Home equity loans and lines of credit are one of your most affordable and flexible options for borrowing.

Secured by the equity in your home, home equity loans and lines of credit are typically more affordable than unsecured forms of borrowing. Use the money for anything you need, including home improvements, an emergency fund, a vacation, back to school expenses, college tuition, or to consolidate your bills.

What's the difference between 1st and 2nd lien, you ask?
If you currently have a mortgage loan or other home equity loan or line of credit, your new home equity loan would be a second lien on the property. If you don't, your home equity is the first lien.
