More Information

  • What is the difference between a HELOC and a home equity loan?

    A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, allows you to access your borrowed funds as needed over a period of time. Interest is only charged on the money you spend. A home equity loan is taken as a lump-sum withdrawal. Additionally, HELOCs have variable interest rates (they will fluctuate over time), while home equity loans have fixed interest rates.

  • How much cash will I be able to access with a HELOC?

    With a HELOC, the loan amount is determined primarily based on your home’s equity. The amount is usually a significant percentage of your home’s value, minus the remaining amount of your mortgage. A Guardian representative can help you determine how much you can borrow with a HELOC.

  • How long can I draw from a HELOC?

    The typical draw period for a HELOC is 10 years.

  • Is the interest on a HELOC tax deductible?

    The interest on your HELOC may be tax-deductible, depending on how the money is spent. Please consult a tax adviser.
