Frequently Asked Questions

  • A home equity loan is a type of loan where you borrow against your house (the collateral) and receive a lump sum of cash. You repay the loan over time with fixed monthly payments. Most home equity loans have a fixed interest rate, where each monthly payment reduces your loan balance and covers some interest costs. The amount you can borrow largely depends on your credit score and how much equity you have in your home (i.e. how much of your home you own versus how much is owed on your mortgage).

    In most cases, we can offer financing for up to 80% of your home’s value – which includes your first mortgage balance (if any) and the amount of your new home equity loan. For example, if your property is worth $800,000 and you owe $500,000 on your first mortgage, you may be eligible for a home equity loan up to $140,000. ($800,000 x 80% = $640,000. $640,000 – $500,000 = $140,000.) Keep in mind this depends on several other factors including loan approval, your credit and income. We recommend checking your rate first to pre-qualify.

    We’re proud to offer no application fees, no early closure fees, no annual fees, and no closing costs on lines up to $250,000.3

    With a home equity loan, you’ll receive the full amount you’re eligible to borrow at the time your loan closes.

    Both types of loans provide a one-time option to access a specific amount of cash from your home’s equity. The main difference is a cash-out refinance replaces your existing first mortgage, and a home equity loan is a second mortgage, meaning refinancing your first mortgage is not required. With a home equity loan, you keep your existing rate, loan terms and payment on your first mortgage, and receive a new second mortgage.

2 Patelco runs a “soft” credit pull to determine which pre-qualification offer you qualify for. This doesn’t affect your credit score. If you choose to proceed with a loan application, Patelco will request your full credit report from one or more credit reporting agencies. This will be a “hard” pull and may affect your credit. If necessary, we may also share certain information about you with third parties, like our insurers, to process your request.
