What's the difference between a HELOC and cash-out refinance?
A cash-out refinance replaces your whole mortgage with a bigger one. A HELOC is a separate line of credit that leaves your first mortgage alone.
How much can I borrow?
It depends on your home's value, what you owe and the lender's rules. The quiz gives me what I need to estimate it.
How fast can I get the money?
Some HELOCs close quickly; a full refinance usually takes a few weeks.
Is it risky?
Your home is the collateral, so borrow with a clear plan. I'll help you size it sensibly.
