I started out working with Amanda Ayoub and she was very attentive and considerate. She sensed my apprehension but was aware of my need to secure a loan to do some things to my house. She was expedient and disciplined in her approach and our journey was flawless. By the time she delivered me to Sue Beidoun, I felt like we had known each other a lifetime because of the level of comfort I felt. Sue B was no less focused and very intent on crossing the finish line with my home loan aspiration. This team, Amanda A and Sue… Read more →

What is a home equity loan?
A home equity loan leverages the value of your home in order to acquire a loan from a lender. You’re essentially borrowing against the value of your home, which is collateral in the loan.

Is this loan right for me?
By paying your mortgage, you slowly own more of your home and therefore own more of the equity in your home. If you need to convert that equity into more liquid financial assets, this loan is right for you.

How can LitFinancial help?
Home equity loans put one of your most prized possessions on the line — your home. While the lump sum you gain from the loan can help you with debts or other needs, you need an expert in your corner to make sure you’re making the right move and understand every aspect of your loan.
Let's help make things clearer.
A home equity loan lets you borrow money using the value you’ve built up in your home. You get the money in one lump sum and pay it back with a fixed monthly payment.
Most lenders let you borrow up to 80–90% of your home’s value, minus what you still owe on your mortgage.
A score around 620 or higher usually works. Better credit can help you get a lower rate.
Home equity loans usually have fixed rates, so your payment stays the same every month.
Anything you want—common uses include home improvements, debt consolidation, education costs, or major expenses.
A home equity loan gives you one lump sum with a fixed payment. A HELOC works like a credit line you can use as needed, usually with a variable rate.
Your home is the collateral, so if you stop paying, you could lose your house. Also, if values drop, you could owe more than your home is worth.
Most people get approved and funded in 2–4 weeks, depending on the lender and appraisal process.
Expect fees similar to a small mortgage—often 2–5% of the loan amount. Some lenders offer reduced or no-closing-cost options.
Usually, yes. Lenders need to know your home’s value. Some offer automated valuations with no in-person appraisal.
Payments are fixed and spread over a set term—often 5 to 30 years, depending on the loan.
Sometimes yes, but lenders often limit you to one, or they may offer a second lien if you still have enough equity.
It can be—if the money is used for home improvements. It’s best to confirm with a tax professional.
