Financing Your Renovation Projects

So many choices! We’ve put some great home improvement ideas together. Now, let’s help you figure out how to put these renovations within your financial reach. Here are a couple options that might fit with your financial needs. 

  • Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC is a line of credit that lets you borrow against the equity you’ve built in your home. To calculate the equity in your home, take the value of your home and subtract any existing mortgage balances, HELOCS, home equity loans, etc. that are taken out against the home. Since HELOCs are secured by the equity in a home, they generally offer better interest rates than credit cards or personal loans.
  • Home equity loan: Similar to a HELOC, a home equity loan allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their homes. Instead of a line of credit, the funds come as a lump-sum. Using funds for improvements or repair of your house is one of the best reasons to use a home equity loan because that typically means increasing your home’s value.
