Why Choose a Home Equity Line of Credit?

Smarter Way to Borrow

Compared to a credit card or personal loan, rates are usually lower with a Home Equity Line of Credit so you can enjoy a lower monthly payment.

  • Save money by consolidating your debt and reducing your total interest costs.
  • It’s fast and easy to transfer higher rate balances to a Home Equity Line of Credit.
  • Enjoy greater value and simplify your life by making only one monthly payment.

Pay for Renovations & More

A Home Equity Line of Credit is a convenient way to fund a major remodel or take care of ongoing projects around your home.

Plus, when you use your HELOC to “buy, build or substantially improve” your home, the interest on those funds may be tax deductible.

  • Besides home improvements, you can use your HELOC for:
  • Education expenses and tuition
  • Weddings, vacations, or a rainy day fund
  • Debt consolidation
  • Car repairs and medical bills
  • Use your funds for whatever you choose!

Enjoy Refinance Advantages

If you currently have a Home Equity Line of Credit or Loan with another lender, you should consider refinancing your loan with 1st Advantage.

Refinancing may provide key advantages, including:

  • Reducing your monthly payment
  • Shortening your payoff terms
  • Providing access to borrow additional funds for a new project
  • Saving even more money through our no closing costs* option

What Our Members Are Saying

I’ve been working with 1st Advantage for several months now to secure some loans and refinance opportunities. I’ve worked with Erica directly and have been nothing short of ecstatic with the level of professionalism and support I have received from her and her team. Erica is a constant professional but also has an extremely personal touch to her work. I would highly recommend them to both friends and family, or to those looking for best in class service and rates from a financial institution

HELOC Payment Calculator

1st Advantage offers a 10-year Draw Period to members repaying a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) during which the borrower will make interest-only payments. In the subsequent Repayment Period (which begins after the initial 10-year Draw Period), the borrower will begin to pay back the principal on their HELOC, plus interest.
