Your equity has three doors. 🏠
If you own a home, chances are you have equity sitting in it. What most people never learn is that there are three very different ways to put it to work: a HELOC (a reusable line of credit), a home equity loan (one lump sum as a second mortgage), and a cash-out refinance (a brand new first mortgage that replaces your current one).
Same equity. Three tools. Very different fits depending on your goals, your timeline, and the mortgage you already have.
Swipe through for the plain-English version of all three.
Wondering which door fits your plan? As a broker, we shop 50+ lenders and match the tool to the file. DM us or call (317) 584-7767.
Reduction in payments from refinancing may extend the loan term and increase total finance charges over the life of the loan; consolidated debts are secured by your home.
