I just closed on a first
lien position HELOC with Desert Financial Credit Union in Arizona.
Not exact matches
In other words, with a Home Equity Loan or
HELOC, you will have two mortgages on your property; in all likelihood, it will have a higher interest rate than your first mortgage due to the fact that it will be held in a second
lien position against the property.
However, if your house is completely paid for and you have no mortgage, some lenders allow you to open a home equity line of credit in the first
lien position, meaning the
HELOC will be your first mortgage.
There is an early termination fee of 1 % or 2 % (up to $ 250) of the principal balance depending on
lien position if your
HELOC is closed before the third anniversary.
Sample APR assumes a new $ 100,000
HELOC in second
lien position with a combined loan - to - value (CLTV) ratio of up to 70 % on a 1 - to 4 - unit owner - occupied primary residence and a borrower with excellent credit.
If I do the exact same thing with a $ 100K
HELOC in 1st
lien position for the same house, the same monthly expenses, and instead of 5 % interest rate I assume 6 % interest rate, I will be done paying in 7 years.
If you have access to 4 - 5 %
HELOC money and your first
lien position is north of 10 %, then I could see it possibly working.
