Home Equity Loan FAQs

Answers to Common Questions About Home Equity Loans

What is the difference between a fixed rate and a variable rate loan? 

A fixed rate loan is a loan where the interest rate on the loan remains the same for the life of the loan. A variable rate loan’s interest rate could fluctuate based on an underlying rate index that periodically changes. 

What are the benefits of a fixed rate vs. a variable rate loan?

With a fixed rate loan, your interest rate is set for the life of the loan, and you can plan your budget accordingly to make regular scheduled payments on your loan. With a variable rate loan, your payments may be lower in a declining interest rate market; however, when interest rates rise, the payments will increase.

What is a fixed-rate home equity loan?
A fixed-rate home equity loan allows you to borrow a lump sum against your home’s equity with a locked-in interest rate and predictable monthly payments.
How is a fixed-rate home equity loan different from a HELOC?
A fixed-rate home equity loan provides a one-time lump sum with a fixed interest rate, while a HELOC is a revolving line of credit with a variable rate.
What can I use a fixed-rate home equity loan for?
You can use the funds for home renovations, debt consolidation, major purchases, education expenses, or any other financial needs.
