Home Equity Loans

A home equity loan allows you as a homeowner to get a loan by using the equity in your home as collateral. The equity consists of whatever funds you have invested in your property in order to own it or improve it.

Since it is a debt against your own property, which you are in actual possession of, a home equity loan is a secured debt. The property can be required to be sold if the creditor wants the money back that you have borrowed.

A home equity loan can be obtained in a lump sum or used as a revolving home equity line of credit.

A home equity loan can be either of the following:

* A fixed rate mortgage
* An adjustable rate mortgage

A homeowner who requires more money in large amounts usually applies for a home equity loan. Some expenses that make a home equity loan useful are:

* Debt consolidation
* Home repairs
* Medical bills
* College tuition for family members

Is home equity loan tax deductable?

In most cases, the answer is yes, but before trying this it's good practice to always consult a tax advisor whilst being aware of the fact, tax deduction is not an unlimited feature.
