Home Equity Loan vs HELOC: What's the Difference?

Could using a home equity loan be better than a home equity line of credit (HELOC)? Both are options for homeowners but which one is best? Robert Rico explains what a home equity loan and a home equity line of credit are to help you understand the difference.

What is the difference between a home equity loan and a HELOC? There's a pretty big difference between the two so let's get into it.

A home equity loan is a specific lump sum of money that leverages your home's equity. For example, if you know you need $5,000 to install a pool in the backyard, then you can take out a home equity loan of $5,000 to make that happen.

What makes a home equity loan different from a HELOC is this: if you choose a HELOC, you can add more money to that lump sum, like a credit card. For example, if you install a pool for $5,000 but you realized that a jacuzzi is the perfect compliment to your backyard and you will need an additional $2,500, then you can tack that expense on top of the initial purchase. Consider a HELOC like a credit card. You can use it to make big purchases like a pool or a jacuzzi while leveraging your home's equity.

That's what makes equity such a powerful tool to finance big purchases in life. Some people will even use their equity to buy another property that they can rent out to earn passive income. Isn't that something? There's a lot of power in the HELOC and home equity loan. Now you know!

Love the video - quick easy and informative. Question…will the HEL affect my current Mortgage interest rate or is it separate?? Assuming the HELOC is separate but not sure on the HEL. Thanks

HELOC is interest only for the first 10 years! HELOAN you pay off principal and interest just like a second mortgage. HELOC is a good option only if you know you have cashing coming up so you can pay it off right away otherwise its a waste of money bcuz nothing goes towards principle.

Great information! Question: what if you have 100% equity but need 50k to improve the property, how to apply this strategy? Thank you

I’d like the HELOC. Bank says you have 500K in equity. How much do you need? If I have 500, 000 in equity. I'm gonna need that 500, 000 Sir!
