FAQs

A home equity loan lets you borrow a fixed amount, secured by the equity in your home, at a fixed interest rate, and you receive the money in one lump sum. A home equity line of credit enables you to withdraw money as you need it up to a predetermined limit and repay the loan over a fixed term and typically with a variable interest rate that may increase or decrease over time.

There are several ways you can borrow from your home equity line of credit:

Your borrowing ability is determined by the equity you have in your home as well as other factors, like your credit history. Call 503.220.2592 to speak with one of our home lending specialists to determine how much you could qualify for.

For example, if the market value of your home is $200,000 and you owe $100,000, you have $100,000 available in home equity.
