Need Extra Money?
Refinance or Equity Line of Credit, Which is Right for You?
You may be looking for some extra money to
fix up the house, go on a vacation or buy a new car, and you
want to take some equity from your home to do it. To do this
you could either refinance your home and take some of your
equity or apply for an equity line of credit instead. The
question is which one is right for you? There are some things
to consider about both options when determining how you should
obtain the money.
Refinance
-
Are you currently paying a high interest rate and would
like to reduce it?
-
Does your lending company charge closing costs or points
to refinance?
-
Consider that you will be borrowing this money and be
paying interest on the full borrowed amount for the duration of
your mortgage
-
Is the interest tax deductible? Speak with your tax
advisor.
Equity Line of Credit
-
You are only charged interest for the money you take out.
-
You may repay the minimum amount or additional monies
without penalty.
-
What are the interest rates? Are they lower then the
current mortgage rates?
-
Are there any fees associated with opening an equity line
of credit with our financial institution?
-
Is the interest tax deductible? Speak with your tax
advisor.
The increase in the real estate market has
provided people the opportunity to borrow money against their
residences to generate cash for the things they need. Financial
institutions are making it easier for people with equity in
their homes to borrow money. If you are looking for extra money
and own a home, you may want to consider one of the two options,
either refinance your existing mortgage or take an equity line
of credit against your home.
