HELOC FAQs

Answers to Common Questions About HELOCs

What is a HELOC?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows you to borrow against the equity in your home, offering you a flexible way to access funds as needed. You can borrow, spend, repay, and borrow again, similar to how a credit card works.
How much can I borrow with a HELOC?
At Independent Bank, you can borrow up to 90% of your home’s value, depending on your equity. Equity is calculated as the value of your home minus the amount you owe on your mortgage.
How does a HELOC work?
A HELOC opens a revolving line of credit, allowing you to borrow money when you need it rather than receiving a lump sum. You decide how much to borrow and when to access funds, providing flexibility in your financial management.
What are the repayment terms for a HELOC?
You are required to make minimum monthly payments, which can be interest-only or at least $50, whichever is greater. You can choose to pay off the principal in a lump sum or gradually over time.
