Real Estate Home Equity Line of Credit

As real estate market stabilizes, home equity lines of credit are coming back. Most lenders are starting to lend again but the rates are not screaming deals that they were before the financial crisis. Many home equity lines of credit were offering lines at half a percentage below the prime rate (current prime rate is 3.25%) but the cheapest lines now are prime plus a point. Most banks and financial institutions have added a lowest possible rate of 4%.

A line of credit is still the cheapest way to borrow and also can be a source of emergency cash. To get the best out of it, you have to follow the rules.

Borrow based on what you can afford to pay
