Deductions & credits

agreeing with @Carl

 

Generally, these are the differences between a Home Equity Loan and a HELOC. 

  • Home equity loans come with fixed payments and a fixed interest rate for the term of the loan.  You receive the full amount of the loan proceeds at one time.
  • HELOCs are revolving credit lines that come with variable interest rates and, as a result, variable minimum payment amounts.  Lines of credit can have a predetermined loan maximum amount but can typically be drawn on with amounts as needed with the payments based on the current outstanding amount.
