How Much You Can Withdraw from Your Home Equity?

For many American homeowners, whether it's an unexpected medical bill, or kids starting college, life has a way of serving up financial curveballs just when your savings account is running low. But the solution could be lurking within your own walls. By your home equity, you may be sitting on a stockpile of cash reserves far larger than you realize - funds that could cover those extra costs.

How much can be withdrawn each time and withdrawal frequency?

Withdrawals are typically a minimum of $500, up to 75% of your current equity limit. You can withdraw as needed, but taking out too much at once may impact repayment ability. Best practice is moderate withdrawals to suit your needs.

How long does it take for funds to be available?

Funds through online banking apps are usually available within 1-2 business days. Cash withdrawals take 3-5 days to process into your bank account. Be sure to clear expenses promptly to avoid interest charges from late payments.

Is stating a purpose needed for withdrawals?

No specific purpose is required. But we advise assessing if withdrawal amounts stay within your monthly budget and repayment capacity. Contact us immediately if difficulties arise so we can help adjust payment plans.

What are the repayment terms after a withdrawal?

Terms are generally 10-30 years, with options for monthly principal and interest, or interest-only initially followed by principal. You can choose your preferred payment amount and date each month, and pay off the balance early to reduce total interest paid over time.

Are fees charged per withdrawal?

No fees are charged per withdrawal. However, excessively frequent withdrawals may incur additional costs, so plan amounts and timing reasonably. We will never charge undisclosed hidden fees.

Will withdrawals affect my mortgage?

No, HELOC is a second mortgage that doesn't impact repayment of the first. As long as your first mortgage payments are handled properly, your home is protected from being seized due to HELOC issues.

Can I raise my withdrawal limit after usage?

Yes, as your home equity increases with rising property values, we'll periodically review your limit to provide more flexibility. However, only withdraw within prudent means aligned with your actual repayment capabilities.

Do I need a reason to repay early?

No reason is required. You're free to fully repay your debt obligation in a lump sum or installments without restrictions. We only care that payments are received on time as agreed.
