A Home Equity Line of Credit - This is a revolving loan with a variable rate. Like a traditional home equity loan, a line of credit taps into the equity in your home, but can be used on an ongoing basis. If you’re wanting to make continuous upgrades to your home, especially over a long period of time, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a more efficient way of managing your home’s equity, plus there are NO FEES!*

A HELOC is an easy and affordable way to:

  • Remodel your kitchen or bathroom
  • Install solar panels
  • Landscape your home
  • Consolidate other debt

It is also a great "safety net" for life's unexpected emergencies.

Related FAQs

A HELOC, or Home Equity Line of Credit, allows you to borrow against the equity you’ve built in your home. It functions as a second mortgage, providing you with a line of credit based on the value of your primary residence.

With a HELOC, you can borrow up to a predetermined amount, repay the borrowed funds, and then borrow again as needed. This flexibility allows you to access funds as you require them.

To apply for a HELOC, you can follow the same process as applying for a mortgage loan. Approval is based on factors such as credit score, credit history, equity in your home, and debt-to-income ratio. You can apply for our Cabrillo Credit Union HELOC online or in person with one of our knowledgeable representatives.

All HELOC Loans are due every 28th of every month.

Most lenders typically require a minimum of 15 to 20 percent equity in your home's appraised value for a HELOC approval. However, this requirement may vary based on factors like credit history and debt-to-income ratio. Maintaining positive credit habits is essential for securing a HELOC.

Calculating a HELOC payment can be complex due to variable interest rates. You'll need to understand your HELOC rates, when they become variable, and if you can make interest-only payments during a specific period. Additionally, know the maximum and minimum interest rates to estimate monthly payments.

The maximum loan amount depends on factors such as credit score, credit history, and debt-to-income ratio. Lenders assess your ability to repay, considering your home's equity and appraised value. Borrowing up to 100 percent of your home's value is possible based on certain criteria.
