What is the difference between a home equity loan and a mortgage?
Posted : 28/04/2024 3:34 pm
The key differences between a home equity loan and a mortgage are
- A mortgage is used to buy a property, while a home equity loan allows homeowners to borrow against the equity they have built up in their homes.
- A mortgage is usually used for a longer period, such as 15 or 30 years, while a home equity loan has a shorter repayment period, typically ranging from five to 15 years.
- A mortgage can be fixed rate or variable, while a home equity loan is a fixed-rate loan.
- A mortgage can be used for any purpose, while a home equity loan is used to buy, build or improve a home.
