HELOCs as Big as Texas: Why Figure’s Home Equity Line of Credit Stands Out

If you’re considering a home equity line of credit (HELOC), you might be curious about how these loans work in Texas. With its unique rules and regulations, Texas HELOCs can differ significantly from those in other states. Fortunately, Figure’s HELOC is here to simplify the process and offer you unparalleled benefits.

What is a HELOC?

A home equity line of credit is a flexible borrowing option that allows you to access your home’s equity. It functions similarly to a credit card: you’re given a credit limit and can borrow as needed, paying back what you use in full or through monthly installments. However, a HELOC is secured by your home, meaning your home is at risk if you’re unable to repay.

Key Features of Texas HELOCs

In Texas, HELOCs come with some distinctive features and requirements:

  • Secured Against Your Home: The loan is secured by your home’s equity. It’s usually a second lien mortgage, meaning it’s secondary to your primary mortgage.

  • Draw Period: You can withdraw funds up to your credit limit throughout the duration of the loan’s draw period, which is usually the first few years of the loan.

  • Access Methods: Funds can typically be accessed through various means, including ACH deposits or sometimes checks or credit cards.

  • Purpose Restrictions: Unlike in some states, Texas HELOCs cannot be used to purchase a home. They’re primarily for accessing cash from existing home equity.

  • Loan Characteristics: HELOCs typically offer features such as the ability to adjust loan amounts, interest-only payments during the draw period, variable interest rates, and low closing costs.
