Both have their perks, but which one fits your financial taste?
Let's delve into the nuances of each to help you make an informed decision.
HELOC vs Closed-End Second Mortgage – A Side-by-Side Comparison
Features | HELOC | Second Mortgage |
---|---|---|
Interest Rate | Adjustable rate, often tied to the prime rate. *Note: Prime is currently at 8.5% | Fixed rates and fixed payment |
Access to Funds | Revolving line of credit, akin to a credit card. | Lump sum payment, similar to a traditional loan. |
Interest Payments | Pay interest only on the amount used. | Interest and principal on the full loan amount. |
Flexibility | Flexibility to borrow as needed. | Less flexible due to fixed loan terms. |
Loan Duration | Typically shorter-term | Generally longer-term |
Risk | Interest rates can fluctuate, based on the prime rate. | Stable payments, fixed loan term |
The choice between a HELOC and a Closed-End Second Mortgage hinges on your financial goals, flexibility needs, and tolerance for risk. Whether you prioritize flexibility or stability, understanding the key differences can help you align your choice with your financial strategy.
