The value you’ve built

Put your home equity
in perspective.

Home equity is the difference between your home’s value and what you owe against it. It is not the same as the amount you can borrow.

A separate line of credit

HELOC

A home equity line of credit generally lets you borrow during a draw period, then repay under the agreement’s terms. Your existing first mortgage can remain in place.

Payments may change as you draw funds, interest changes, or repayment begins. Minimum draw-period payments may not reduce principal.

Explore payment scenarios

A replacement mortgage

Cash-out refinance

A new mortgage pays off the existing mortgage and can provide additional cash, subject to eligibility and equity requirements.

The new terms apply to the whole new mortgage. Compare the total cost of replacing your current loan, not just the cost of the extra cash.

Compare the approaches

Both approaches use your home as collateral. Missed payments can put your home at risk. Discuss product availability, borrowing limits, fees, and repayment terms with David before making a decision.
