What A HELOC Can Do For You And Your Home

A HELOC is a line of credit that’s like a credit card—think of the value of your home equity as the credit card. You can borrow and repay as you need to, but before you go crazy on the home renovations, know that you are paying interest on the credit.

So, what are some of the perks with HELOCs? HELOCs, most of the time, have lower interest rates than other lines of credit such has credit cards, personal loans, etc and interest may be tax deductible if you use the HELOC for home renovation costs.

Don’t sleep on the fees–make sure you ask your lender if you have to pay application, annual, or cancellation fees before you proceed.

I don’t know about you, but I love the sound of tax deductions from Uncle Sam.
