What’s a Home Equity Loan Good For?
A home equity loan has many uses. Popular uses for a home equity loan include home improvements, debt consolidation, weddings or celebrations, and education.
Home Improvements
Whether you need to make significant repairs or want to make upgrades, a home equity loan is a good option for one-time remodeling projects. The improvements add value to your house as you reinvest the money into the property.
Debt Consolidation
You can use a home equity loan to consolidate the debt into one manageable payment. This is a good option when juggling multiple debts becomes burdensome. One competitive rate can also help with your debt management plan.
Weddings or Celebrations
Consider a home equity loan if you don’t want to cover a significant expense from your savings. This can be an affordable way to stick to a predetermined budget to pay a large expense.
Education
Grants and student loans may not be enough or may not even be an option. However, a home equity loan is a viable solution to pay for higher education for yourself or a family member.
How Does a Home Equity Loan Work?
A home equity loan, also known as a second mortgage, allows you to borrow against the equity in your home, which is based on an appraisal by the bank. You will be issued the funds in a single payment and repay these funds on a fixed schedule.
Repayment terms may range from 5-30 years. Since home equity loans are fixed-rate loans, you have the benefit of knowing exactly how much your interest rate and payments are each month during the loan. Interest paid can sometimes be tax deductible.
How Does a Home Equity Loan Differ From a Home Equity Line of Credit?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) shares similarities with home equity loans. When determining whether a HELOC vs. home equity loan is better suited for your situation, there are a few factors to consider. Both offer competitive interest rates and use your home as collateral.
However, there are a few key differences. The home equity loan offers funds as a lump sum at a fixed rate and has a repayment plan schedule, while the home equity line of credit is offered as a line of credit. You will be approved to draw up to a specific amount from your HELOC over a period of time. Interest is variable instead of fixed. You will pay interest-only payments during the draw period while paying principal and interest during the repayment period.

FAQs
Is a home equity loan a mortgage?
A home equity loan is called a second mortgage because they have many similarities. A home equity loan offers a fixed rate and a set repayment schedule. While a standard mortgage allows you to purchase your home initially, you can take out a home equity loan once you have enough equity in your home.
Can you get a home equity loan with bad credit?
In addition to having sufficient equity in your home, you will typically need a credit score that ranges from good to excellent to qualify for a home equity loan.
Can I use a home equity loan to buy another house?
You can use the funds from a home equity loan to buy another house if you have enough equity. However, there are always benefits and risks to be considered with any significant financial decision. Therefore, you should weigh these factors before using your equity to purchase another home.
How do I qualify for a home equity loan?
If you have good credit and enough equity in your home that does not exceed the loan-to-value ratio, you may qualify for a home equity loan with State Bank.
