Why Choose a HELOC?

Revolving line: Draw, repay, and redraw during the draw period.
Pay interest only on what you use during draw (program-specific).
Keep your low first-mortgage rate with a standalone line.
Pair with a new first mortgage via piggyback to reduce MI or keep the first conforming.
Use cases: renovations, debt consolidation, tuition, emergency fund, or future reserves.

Who’s a Great Fit?
HELOC makes sense when…
You want flexibility and expect phased expenses over time.
You have a great first-mortgage rate you’d prefer to keep.
You want to structure an 80/10/10 to lower MI/keep a conforming first.
You value interest-only payments during the draw period (program-specific).
HELOC Programs Available
Standalone HELOC
Access equity without touching your existing first mortgage. Great when a cash-out refi doesn’t make sense because your current rate is low.
Primary and second homes (guidelines apply).
Flexible line amounts; typical terms include interest-only draw.
Piggyback HELOC
Pair a HELOC with your new first mortgage to reduce or avoid mortgage insurance and keep the first in conforming limits.
Help structure up to ~89.99% combined LTV while avoiding MI in many cases.
Useful for purchase or refinance strategies.
Equity for Projects
Use a HELOC to phase renovations (kitchen, bath, roof, windows) or to consolidate higher-interest debt. Draw only what you need and pay interest on the amount used.
We’ll map draw timing to contractor milestones.
Option to re-use the line for future needs during draw period.
