Home equity loans.

Home equity loans.

Make your house feel a little more like home. If you already own a home, you may be able to use your equity to get financing for other needs. Equity is the difference between the appraised value of your home and the amount you still owe on your mortgage. Home equity loans are a great option if you plan to renovate, expand, or add energy-efficient upgrades to your house or if you’re planning to make a high-dollar purchase.
