YOUR OPTIONS

Three ways to put your equity to work

1

Home equity loan

A fixed second loan. Your current first mortgage and its rate stay exactly as they are.

2

Home equity line of credit

A flexible line you draw from as needed, for projects, tuition or a safety net.

3

Cash-out refinance

Replace your first mortgage and take cash at closing, when the numbers make sense.

Common questions

Will my current mortgage rate change?

Not with a home equity loan or line of credit. Those are separate loans, so your first mortgage stays as it is. A cash-out refinance replaces your first mortgage.

Do I need an appraisal?

Not always. Depending on the loan, your home’s value may be confirmed with an automated valuation (AVM) instead of a full appraisal. Some loan types do require an appraisal, and I’ll tell you up front which applies to you.

How much can I borrow?

Texas caps total borrowing against your home at 80% of its value, including your current mortgage. What you qualify for also depends on your credit, income and property.

Does checking my equity cost anything?

No. The snapshot is free and comes with no obligation.
