What's a Home Equity Line of Credit?
Also known as a HELOC, a Home Equity Line of Credit is secured by your home and offers you a revolving credit line to use for large expenses or to consolidate debt at a lower-interest rate. The amount of credit available to you is based on your home's market value, and current equity you have in your home.
