If you are looking for a flexible way to access your home equity without refinancing your existing mortgage, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) may be an ideal solution. A HELOC provides ongoing access to funds with flexibility and control, allowing you to borrow only what you need, when you need it.
At MidAmerica Bancorp, HELOCs are designed to help homeowners leverage their equity efficiently while maintaining financial flexibility.
What Is a HELOC?
A Home Equity Line of Credit allows you to borrow against the equity you have built in your home. Unlike a traditional loan, a HELOC functions as a revolving line of credit, similar to a credit card.
You can draw funds as needed during the draw period and are only charged interest on the amount you actually use.
HELOC Program Highlights
- Up to 90% loan-to-value (LTV), subject to qualification
- Loan amounts up to $750,000
- Revolving line of credit structure
- Interest-only payment options may be available during the draw period
- No need to refinance your existing first mortgage
What Can You Use a HELOC For?
One of the biggest advantages of a HELOC is flexibility. Funds can be used for a wide range of purposes, including:
- Debt consolidation
- Home repairs or renovations
- Home upgrades or improvements
- Emergency expenses
- Education costs
- Investments or business opportunities
- Major purchases or life events
During your consultation, we’ll review your goals and help determine whether a HELOC is the right fit for your situation.
Benefits of a HELOC
- Flexible access to funds: Borrow only what you need and keep the remaining credit available.
- Lower interest rates than many alternatives: HELOC rates are often more affordable than credit cards or unsecured loans.
- Interest-only payment options: In many cases, payments during the draw period may be interest-only.
- Potential tax advantages: Interest may be tax-deductible when funds are used for qualifying home improvements (consult a tax professional).
- Convenience and control: Access funds easily while maintaining financial flexibility.
HELOC Qualification Requirements
To qualify for a Home Equity Line of Credit, several factors are considered, including:
- Available home equity (typically at least 10–20%)
- Credit score
- Debt-to-income (DTI) ratio
- Income and overall financial profile
Our team will review your situation and explain your available options clearly.
