Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

Make use of the equity in your home!

 

A Home Equity Line of Credit allows you to borrow money against the portion of your home that you own (i.e. equity); the amount your home is currently valued at, minus the amount you have left on your mortgage and other existing liens. Metro Credit Union offers multiple HELOC options for up to 90% of the equity of your home.

 

Once approved, your HELOC loan works like a revolving line of credit. You can borrow when you want for as much as you want, up to your limit, and pay your balance down monthly, with no penalty for early payoff. HELOCs are 15 year loans, with draw periods ranging from 5-10 years, giving you the remaining time to pay off the balance.

 

Metro offers multiple HELOC types, including, Flex, NEW Fixed Rate, and Variable Rate options.


Flex HELOC

The Flex option is a variable rate line of credit that allows you to "lock" your balance at the current rate up to four times during the life of the loan. This allows you to save money on your outstanding balance should interest rates go down in the future.

 

Fixed Rate HELOC

This new product offers the ability to have an open line of credit at a fixed rate. Unlike the Flex HELOC, you do not have to draw funds from it in order to have a fixed rate. You can borrow the money you need at the same rate throughout the draw period. In times when interest rates are likely to rise over the next few years, this option ensures your rate will not increase during the draw period.

 

Variable Rate HELOC

This traditional option has no locked rates, but has a smaller minimum required limit of just $5,000, while the Flex and Fixed Rate HELOCs require more equity in your home to qualify. This is a great option if you have less equity, and are looking for a smaller loan amount.
