As we celebrate Superhero September, let’s harness the power within your home to achieve your financial goals. Just as superheroes have unique strengths, your home equity can be your superpower! Whether you want to make home improvements before winter, buy a new vehicle, or finance other essential needs, a Home Equity Loan from NCACU can help you soar.
Flexible Ways to Use Your Equity:
Home Equity Loans are versatile financial tools that can be used for a variety of purposes. Here are some ways you can leverage your home equity:
-
Home Improvements Before Winter
Preparing your home for the colder months can be crucial. Use your home equity to:
- Upgrade insulation and heating systems
- Replace old windows and doors to improve energy efficiency
- Install a new roof to prevent leaks and ensure better insulation
- Add storm doors and windows to protect against harsh weather
Enhance your living space:
- Remodel your kitchen or bathroom for a fresh, updated look
- Add new paint and carpet throughout
- Add a bedroom or family room for more space
- Create a cozy basement or attic space for additional living or storage
- Build a home office or study for remote work and learning needs
-
Buy a New Vehicle
Need a new set of wheels? Your home equity can help you:
- Finance the purchase of a new or used car
- Get better loan terms compared to traditional auto loans
- Save money with potentially lower interest rates
-
Other Financial Needs
Home Equity Loans can also be used for:
- Consolidating high-interest debt
- Covering educational expenses
- Funding major life events or emergencies
Benefits of Home Equity Financing
Tapping into your home equity offers several advantages:
- Lower Interest Rates
Home Equity Loans typically have lower interest rates than other forms of credit, such as personal loans or credit cards. This means you can save money over the life of the loan.
- Potential Tax Benefits
Interest paid on Home Equity Loans may be tax deductible, depending on how the funds are used. Please consult with a tax professional to understand the specific benefits of your situation.
- Flexible Repayment Terms
NCACU offers flexible repayment terms to suit your financial situation. You can choose a term that fits your budget and financial goals.
- Lump Sum Disbursement
With a fixed-rate Home Equity Loan, you receive a lump sum amount you can use immediately. This is ideal for large projects or expenses that require upfront funding. You can also rest easy knowing your rate will never change.
- Flexible HELOC Option
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) offers flexibility by allowing you to borrow funds as needed, up to a specific limit, similar to a credit card. This option is perfect for ongoing or smaller projects, allowing you to access funds whenever necessary.
How to Determine Your Available Equity
Before you can use your home equity as a superpower, you need to determine how much equity you have available. Here’s a simple way to calculate it:
- Determine Your Home’s Market Value: Use recent home sales in your neighborhood or get a professional appraisal to estimate your home’s current market value.
- Calculate Your Outstanding Mortgage Balance: Check your mortgage statement to determine how much you still owe on your home loan.
- Subtract Your Mortgage Balance from Your Home’s Value: Your available equity is the difference between your home’s market value and your outstanding mortgage balance.
For example, if your home is worth $300,000 and you owe $150,000 on your mortgage, your available equity is $150,000. At NCACU, you can borrow up to 80% of your available equity, ensuring you have plenty of funds.
