A home equity line of credit lets you borrow against the equity you've built up in your home, up to a fixed credit line. For the first 15 years, you can borrow and optionally repay, over and over again. After 15 years, any balance outstanding converts to an amortizing loan that gets repaid monthly over the next 15 years. 
To qualify for a HELOC, you need to have available equity in your home. You can typically borrow up to 70% of the current value of your home minus any other debt you have on the home. Then we consider your credit score and history, employment, monthly income and other debts, before we approve your loan.
It can take as little as three weeks from application to closing for a HELOC, depending on the size and complexity of your loan request. If you still have questions, contact a mortgage officer or call us at (802) 275-3979






*The interest rate on the line of credit will be discounted for the first twelve (12) months. Currently, the discounted rate is 5.99% with an APR of 6.073%, fixed for the first twelve months. This equates to an periodic rate of 0.01663%. The APR does not include costs other than interest.
