Home Equity Loans & Lines of Credit
Looking to consolidate debt or complete that home improvement project? Whatever goal you have in mind, Cal Coast offers flexible options to make your dreams a reality.
HELOC
The Flexible Credit Line
Revolving Credit: Borrow, repay & repeat during the 10-year draw period1
Variable Interest Rate: Payments may vary based on market conditions
Flexible Access: Borrow only what you need, when it's needed
Home Equity Loan
The Lump Sum Option
Lump Sum Payment: Receive the entire loan amount upfront
Fixed Interest Rate: Predictable monthly payments
Fixed Repayment Term: Repay the loan over a set period of 10², 15³, or 20-years⁴
Home Equity Loans, also known as 2nd mortgages, allow homeowners to borrow funds using their home equity as collateral. These are one-time, fixed-rate loans where the borrower receives the full loan amount upfront as a lump sum. Borrowers can qualify for a home equity loan even if there is an existing mortgage on the property.
A Home Equity Loan can be a great option if:
You need the full loan amount upfront
You value stability
You prefer a fixed-rate and knowing that your payment will never change
When should you consider a HELOC?
Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) are similar to Home Equity Loans, but instead of a lump sum the funds are accessed, with a credit card or checking account, through a revolving line of credit. Another difference to keep in mind is that the interest rate for a HELOC is adjustable. Typically, HELOCs have a draw period, during which you can withdraw money, and a repayment period, during which you must payback the balance. At Cal Coast our HELOCs have a 10-year draw period, with interest-only payments, and a 15-year repayment period.1
A HELOC can be a great option if:
You don't need the entire loan amount upfront
You need to access funds directly with a credit card
You want the flexibility to draw money when you need it and pay interest only on the amount borrowed
It's easy to get started with our secure, mobile-friendly application. Plus, you can always save your progress and pick up where you left off at a later time.
