Becoming a homeowner is a major financial move. Once you’ve settled in, it’s important to know that the equity building up in your home can convey certain “super” powers that, when tapped, can unlock the way to your financial goals.
What are these powers? I’m glad you asked…
Debt Reducing Power
Life happens and when it does, debt often comes with it. Be wary of high interest credit cards and other unsecured debt obligations that can slow or even prevent you from moving forward in your financial journey. On the other hand, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), backed by the value of your home, gives you the power to consolidate that debt with a better interest rate or lower monthly payments (sometimes both!) or avoid it in the first place.
Home Improvement Power
Life changes and when it does, sometimes the house needs to change with it! Whether you are turning your forever home into your dream home or making some upgrades to test the market, a HELOC can offer you the financial firepower to fund these projects.
The Power To Save (For) The Future
One of the underrated ways that a HELOC can power up your finances is the flexibility to serve as an emergency fund or super-charged savings source. If your financial forecast includes sending kids off to college or similar expenses, your home equity line can be like a trusty sidekick, ready and available when those needs arise.
When you’re ready to use your equity to boost your financial power with a Home Equity Line of Credit, give us a call at 804-274-1200 or visit a branch today to learn more or get started.
