    What is a Home Equity Line of Credit?

    A HELOC is a revolving line of credit that uses your home as collateral. Unlike a traditional loan where you receive a lump sum, a HELOC works like a credit card—you can borrow what you need, when you need it, up to your credit limit.

    HELOCs have two phases: the draw period (typically 10 years) when you can borrow and make interest-only payments, and the repayment period (10-20 years) when you pay back principal and interest.
