How to use your home's equity to your advantage

Need to finance a major purchase or project? A home equity loan or a home equity line of credit (HELOC) allows you to borrow money using your home equity as collateral so you can fund your major projects with ease! As a member of Nusenda, you have access to competitive rates, local service, and fast underwriting. Our home equity loans offer low fixed rates, flexible terms, and affordable payments. The interest on your loan may also be tax deductible. *

What is a Home Equity Loan? (Fixed Rate)

A home equity loan uses your home as collateral to provide you with a lump sum payment. Home equity loans offer several benefits, including a fixed interest rate for the entire loan term (up to 15 years), and regular monthly payments – giving you an affordable repayment plan without any surprises! If you need money to fund a large, one-time expense (like a house renovation), a home equity loan is a great option.

What is a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC**)?

A home equity line of credit gives you the flexibility to access cash as needed. Lines of credit have a variable rate, and you can access your line of credit for up to five years. Planning to sell your house soon? You have the option to pay interest only for the first five years, keeping your payment even lower.
