A HELOC is secured against the equity in your home, allowing you to borrow funds up to a predetermined credit limit. Unlike traditional loans, a HELOC offers a revolving line of credit, allowing you to borrow, repay, and borrow again as needed. This revolving nature makes it an ideal solution for ongoing or unpredictable expenses, providing peace of mind knowing you can access funds when required.

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC’s)

With competitive interest rates typically lower than unsecured loans or credit cards, a HELOC offers cost-effective financing options. This affordability, combined with the security of your home as collateral, ensures that you can access funds at favourable terms while optimising your financial resources.

Advantages of Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs)

Flexible Access to Funds

A HELOC allows you to borrow funds up to a predetermined credit limit as needed. This revolving credit line lets you draw funds multiple times without reapplying, making it convenient for ongoing expenses or projects.

Lower Interest Rates

HELOCs typically offer lower interest rates than unsecured loans or credit cards because they are secured against your home equity. This can result in significant savings on interest payments over time, especially for large expenses.

Potential Tax Benefits

In certain circumstances, the interest paid on a HELOC may be tax-deductible. Consult with a tax advisor to understand if you qualify for these potential tax advantages based on your financial situation.

Enhanced Financial Planning

With a HELOC, you have a financial resource available for emergencies or opportunities without liquidating other investments. It provides a safety net for unexpected expenses and allows you to maintain financial flexibility.

Use of Funds for Various Purposes

Whether you're renovating your home, consolidating higher-interest debt, funding education, or making investments, a HELOC offers the versatility to meet diverse financial needs.

Competitive Terms and Conditions

Boychuk Mortgage Group offers competitive terms and conditions for HELOCs, ensuring that you benefit from favourable rates, flexible repayment schedules, and transparent terms that suit your financial goals.

Build Home Equity

By responsibly using a HELOC, you can potentially increase your home's value through renovations or improvements, which may lead to higher market value and increased equity over time.

This whole process can be really overwhelming, but Riley did an excellent job at explaining and educating us through it all. He's very attentive by making phone calls just to check in, and he really cares about us as people not just clients. I would recommend him to anyone I know.

  • The main advantage to your home equity line of credit is ongoing access you have to your equity at a low cost of borrowing.
  • Rates are typically set at prime to prime + 0.50%
  • Because your home equity is secured against your largest asset - your home, you will be able to borrow significantly more than a standard line of credit would allow.
  • You can access your home equity line of credit for the purpose of additional investments such as purchasing a rental property.
  • The monthly interest that you are charge when advancing funds from your HELOC for the purpose of any investment is tax deductible.
  • Unlike a typical mortgage, a home equity line of credit allows you to make interest only payments, otherwise giving you the option of a lower-than-normal monthly payment. You can begin making principal and interest payments at any time.
  • Your HELOC also gives you the maximum flexibility to use and pay off as you see fit. There are no restrictions to how fast or slow you can pay off your loan if you are making the minimum monthly interest payments.
  • Many HELOC products when combined with your mortgage are re-advanceable. Thus, meaning as you pay down your mortgage, the limit of your HELOC will continue to grow. Your home equity line of credit is a revolving source of funds that you can access at any time.

Some of the more common reasons Canadians love their HELOC is their ability to complete home renovations, pay off high interest debt with low interest debt, and most importantly, have the ability to invest in assets that help create long term generational wealth Many borrowers also prioritize having the means of an emergency fund if ever needed. With a HELOC’s exceptionally low interest rate, you can borrow against your home without going further into debt on your credit cards or lines of credit each month.

A home equity line of credit is combined with a mortgage as a secondary source of funds should you need them in your future. With any HELOC product, you will need a minimum down payment of 20%, maxing out at a total HELOC value of 65% of your homes current value. Let’s look at an example:

  • Let’s assume your lender offers a combined loan to value of 80%, meaning the combination of your total mortgage and HELOC option is 80% of your homes current value.
  • Your appraised home valuation comes in at $1,000,000, and your current mortgage balance is $450,000.
  • Based on the given numbers and subject to qualifying, you may add an additional HELOC to your mortgage of $350,000.
    (Your home value x 80% - your mortgage balance).
  • You now have the option to advance all or some of those funds, or you can leave the credit line untouched until needed.
  • Subject to income qualifying, we recommend adding a HELOC to your mortgage as there are only advantages to you.
  • It’s important to note that this HELOC option does not penalize you for funds you leave untouched and does not have any reverse affect to your credit. Without an added HELOC, if you require access to your equity, you will need to reconstruct your mortgage, resulting in lender penalties & legal fees.
  • A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a convenient and inexpensive means to borrowing money using your home’s current value as collateral. Because of the collateral backed loan, the interest rate on this credit line is significantly lower than an unsecured source such as a credit card. If you’ve lost your job, have unexpected bills, need to consolidate high interest debt, require renovations to your home, want to invest, seek an emergency fund, or just need cash, and you have equity in your home, securing a home equity line of credit (HELOC) may be an ideal solution for you.

A HELOC is a revolving line of credit secured against your home equity. It allows you to borrow funds up to a specified credit limit and repay them over time with interest.

HELOC funds can be used for various purposes, including home renovations, debt consolidation, education expenses, investments, and emergency funds.

A HELOC is a revolving line of credit, while a home equity loan provides a lump sum payment with fixed monthly payments. HELOCs offer flexibility in borrowing and repayment.

Using a HELOC for renovations allows you to access funds as needed and potentially increase your home's value. The interest paid on HELOC funds used for home improvements may be tax-deductible.

Qualification criteria typically include sufficient home equity, a good credit score, stable income, and meeting specific lender requirements. Boychuk Mortgage Group can assess your eligibility and guide you through the qualification process.

Sometimes, the interest paid on a HELOC used for home improvements may be tax-deductible. Consult with a tax advisor to understand if you qualify for this tax benefit based on your circumstances.
