HELOC: Flexible Access to Your Home's Equity
Leverage Your Home Equity with a Line of Credit to Fund Renovations, Debt Consolidation, and More
Unlock Your Home’s Potential with a HELOC
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows you to borrow against the equity you’ve built in your home and access funds as needed. Unlike a traditional loan, a HELOC provides a revolving line of credit, giving you the flexibility to use the funds for home improvements, debt consolidation, education expenses, or any other significant financial needs.
At Lender Capital Group, we offer HELOCs designed to give homeowners affordable and flexible financing options. Whether you’re looking to renovate your home, cover unexpected expenses, or consolidate debt, a HELOC allows you to access your home’s equity without selling your property.

Why Choose a HELOC?
Flexible Access to Funds
With a HELOC, you can borrow as much or as little as you need, up to your approved credit limit. You only pay interest on the amount you use, making it an ideal solution for ongoing or unpredictable expenses.
Lower Interest Rates
HELOCs typically offer lower interest rates than credit cards or personal loans, making them a cost-effective way to borrow.
Interest-Only Payments During Draw Period
During the initial draw period (typically 5 to 10 years), you only pay interest on the amount you borrow. This keeps your monthly payments low and provides flexibility in managing your finances.
Tax-Deductible Interest
In some cases, the interest paid on a HELOC may be tax-deductible if the funds are used for home improvements or renovations. Be sure to consult with a tax advisor for eligibility.
Use Funds for Any Purpose
Unlike home improvement loans, HELOCs can be used for a variety of purposes, including home repairs, education costs, medical expenses, and more.
HELOC Qualifications
To qualify for a HELOC, you’ll need to meet the following criteria:
Equity in Your Home
You must have sufficient equity in your home to qualify for a HELOC. Typically, lenders require that you retain at least 15% to 20% equity after taking out a HELOC.
Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio
Your DTI ratio should be 43% or lower, ensuring that you have enough income to cover your monthly debt obligations, including the HELOC payments.
Credit Score
A good credit score is essential for qualifying for a HELOC. Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 620 or higher, though a score of 700+ may secure better terms.
Income and Employment
You’ll need to provide proof of steady income and employment to demonstrate your ability to repay the loan.
HELOC Process: Step-by-Step
01.
Application and Pre-Qualification
Start by submitting a HELOC application, where we’ll review your credit score, income, and home equity to determine how much you qualify for. We’ll also provide a credit limit based on the value of your home.
02.
Property Appraisal
An appraisal will be conducted to assess the current market value of your home. This ensures that you have sufficient equity to borrow against.
03.
Approval and Credit Line Setup
Once your application is approved, a line of credit is established based on the available equity in your home. You can access the funds through checks, credit cards, or electronic transfers.
04.
Draw Period
During the draw period, typically 5 to 10 years, you can borrow from your HELOC as needed and only pay interest on the amount used. You have the flexibility to repay and borrow again during this time.
05.
Repayment Period
After the draw period, you enter the repayment period (usually 10 to 20 years), where you begin repaying the principal and interest. Repayment amounts may vary depending on how much you borrowed during the draw period.
