Both loans use the value in your current home to secure a low rate. A Home Equity Loan is paid out as one large sum, whereas a HELOC approves you for a limit that works similar to a line of credit or credit card, which you can then borrow from here and there as you need it (you'll only pay interest on what you actually borrow). A Home Equity Loan is great if you know exactly how much you want to borrow; a HELOC might be a better choice if you have ongoing expenses.

It depends on the value of your home and any current loans outstanding. Get pre-approved online today and start the process.
