Frequently asked questions

How does a HELOC differ from a home equity loan?

A HELOC is a revolving credit line with variable rates. A home equity loan is a lump-sum second mortgage with a fixed rate.

What credit score do I need?

Most 2026 HELOC lenders require a 680+ FICO. Best rates go to borrowers with 740+ and under 80% combined LTV.

Can I lose my home?

Yes. A HELOC is secured by your home. Missing payments can trigger foreclosure, so treat it like a mortgage.
