What is a Home Equity Loan (HELOAN)?
A HELOAN is a way to use your home equity as collateral, but instead of getting a line of credit, you'll receive one lump sum that's repaid over time with a fixed interest rate. It's similar to a home equity line of credit (HELOC), but with a HELOC, you have a line of credit you can draw from and pay back, usually with a variable interest rate.
