What is a Home Equity Line of ?

It is a line of credit you can borrow against using the equity in your home. You don’t get all the money up front; you choose how much to use and only pay interest on that amount. Home equity is the difference between your home’s value and the remaining mortgage. For example, if your home is worth $500,000 and you still owe $200,000, your equity is $300,000. You can usually borrow up to 65% of your home’s value, and combined with your mortgage, your total debt can’t exceed 80% of your home’s value.

How does a HELOC work?

  • Borrow against your home’s equity as collateral.
  • Draw period (5–10 years): Access funds as needed, pay interest only on what you use.
  • Repayment period (10–20 years): Repay both principal and interest.
  • No need to have an existing mortgage to apply.

Because it uses your home’s equity as security and is sometimes called a second mortgage, but you don’t need an existing mortgage to apply.

What is a HELOC used for?

It is a flexible way to access funds at the best rates in Ontario. You can use it to pay off high-interest debt, cover your mortgage balance, consolidate loans, invest, or even pay for education. Since it’s secured against your home, it’s important to make sure your spending adds value to your property and fits within your budget. 

Moreover, stay updated on Canada’s new line of credit home equity rules, ensuring you understand borrowing limits, interest regulations, and eligibility requirements before applying.

Tips for Getting a Credit (HELOC)

Because the burden to prove eligibility is greater on self-employed individuals, it pays to be well prepared before applying for a loan. The following should be considered before going into apply for a Self-Employed Mortgage:

What do I need to qualify for a HELOC?

There are some minimum requirements for approval for a HELOC which should be considered before applying. These are in place to ensure that the lender is protected against the loan going into default.
  • The higher the amount that you own on your property, the more likely you are to be approved.
  • A HELOC is offered to borrowers only if they own a minimum of 20-25% of the equity on their home.
  • Homeowners with larger amounts of equity owned are also eligible for better interest rates.
  • The lender will also perform a background check to confirm the applicant’s ability to repay the HELOC. This includes factors such as your credit history, your debt to income ratio and any documentation concerning previous second mortgages on your property and its repayment.

How do you pay interest on a HELOC?

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) come with a variable interest rate, meaning it is not a fixed amount for the duration of your loan. Interest rates are usually lower for a HELOC because unlike unsecured credit cards, the borrower’s home is used to secure the loan.
HELOC’s come with varying options for repayment periods. For example, you could have a 30 year loan in which you spend the first ten years making interest only payments and then paying down the principal for the remainder of the term. Interest payments on a HELOC are also tax deductible.

What are the disadvantages of a HELOC?

Because it is a loan secured against your home, there are some risks to be considered such as:
  • If you default on payments towards a HELOC, you could possibly lose your home
  • Because HELOC’s have variable rates, the amount of your loan could be reduced, or your HELOC could be frozen altogether.
  • You are reducing the value of your home until you have paid back the loan you have taken against it.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is a HELOC and how does it work?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a loan taken against your property which lets you control how much of your total credit limit to withdraw and allows you to repay it according to your needs within the initial term of the loan, unlike a traditional mortgage which gives you the funds in a lump sum.
A HELOC typically has a lower rate of interest than a traditional mortgage which makes it a viable option if you’d like to use it to pay off your pre-existing mortgage. You should be mindful of the terms of both loans, especially the conditions of a HELOC’s borrowing and repayment periods.
A HELOC operates similarly to a credit card rather than a traditional mortgage, meaning you should only utilize up to 30% of your total credit limit at a time to maintain your credit rating. On the other hand, making regular payments on your HELOC can have a positive impact on your credit score.
A normal loan period for a HELOC is 25 years, which is split into two terms, the draw period and the repayment period. The draw period lasts from 5 to 10 years depending on your loan agreement, during which you can withdraw funds. This is followed by the repayment period which lasts from 10 to 20 years.

It is a type of loan that you get against the equity of your home. You just have to pay interest on the loan that you used. It is a financial relief for homeowners to invest in their dreams.
