How do HELOCs Work?

HELOCs generally work like other lines of credit. You can borrow money as you need it for any reason, and make monthly payments as spelled out in your loan agreement. You may only pay interest for the first several years, but can save money during that time by also making principal payments.

To apply for a HELOC, you’ll need to provide the lender with your personal and financial information. They will also verify the value of your home to ensure you have enough equity to qualify.

As you pay down the amount you borrow, it becomes available again. Unlike a traditional credit line, however, a HELOC directly draws from the equity in your home, increasing the amount you owe on the property.

Most HELOCs have a draw period that lasts 10 years. During this decade, you pay only monthly interest unless you decide to put more toward principal. After 10 years, the HELOC enters its repayment phase. You must make monthly principal and interest payments and you can’t take more money out of your home equity (unless you apply for a new loan).
