Simply said, it is a type of loan in which a borrower uses the equity of their home as collateral. Like a traditional mortgage, home equity loans are secured against the value of an individual’s property, but can only be used to refinance a home and are on a fixed term. This type of loan creates a lien on the property as a form of security interest to ensure payment of debt. A home equity loan can aid you with your future financial investments and debts, such as: Remodel and renovate your home Pay for your child’s college education Finance and purchase a second home Consolidate high-interest debts Contact Us If you would like to learn more about our new home equity loan offer or are interested in becoming a member of our credit union, please contact our Valley Federal Credit Union main branch in Brownsville at 956.546.3108.
