Is a Home Equity Line of Credit Right For You?

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) can provide a flexible alternative to a traditional fixed or variable mortgage. A HELOC gives you access to up to 80% of the appraised value of your property to be used for emergencies, renovations, child's education, vacations....or any other situations where you might need access to funds quickly.

Self employed individuals find this product very useful in helping to smooth out their income stream. Access to funds helps float your business during slower periods and then allows you to pay back as much as you like when your business picks up. The best part is payments can be as low as interest only which means your carrying costs can be quite affordable.

However, a home equity line of credit must be used responsibly. Many people have fallen victim to the ease of which you can access the equity in your home and have treated their house like their own personal ATM.
