What is a Home Equity Loan?
Home Equity Loans are a type of term loan secured by the equity in your house. You can estimate your equity by subtracting your mortgage balance from your property’s current market value. Because Home Equity Loans use your house as collateral, they offer lower interest rates than unsecured personal loans or credit cards.

The short answer is just about anything.
Common Uses of a Home Equity Loan Include:
- A home renovation or improvement project
- Home repairs
- College tuition or other educational expenses

- Starting a business
