Advice on Shopping for a HELOC

With a HELOC, you can look forward to certain real concessions on settlement costs without any string attached. Well, you should endeavor to enquire since most of the bonuses are not written and lenders reserve them for those periods when they desire assistance to persuade customers. A lot of the lenders will agree so as to keep your business.

Another helpful tip is to enquire if you can utilize the same appraisal that was previously done at the purchase of your home instead of paying for another one. Usually, lenders will not allow a consumer to use old appraisal data for a typical mortgage; but they usually allow it when issuing a home equity line of credit. Ability to skip the new appraisal procedure can save a consumer some big chunk of money in closing fees. If you have made up your mind that a HELOC is suitable for you; then there are certain features you should look out for.

The following should be top on your list when your mind is settled for a HELOC;

  • There should be no application fee and if any, it should be reimbursed at closing

  • There should also be no fee charged for maintenance or check writing

  • There should be no appraisal or closing costs

  • Absence of non usage fee

  • Find out if variable Annual Percentage Ratio equals or near the prime rate. An ideal home equity credit line should involve no extra cost other than the interest charged on the balance borrowed

  • Lifetime cap on rat

  • Being able to convert to a fixed rate loan

  • Unlimited capability to pay back principal without penalty
