Home Equity Tips
Used wisely, home equity loans can be a relatively low-cost way to borrow money for big expenses. And, they certainly beat 18% credit card rates by a mile. But, before you bite on an offer, be sure to check the fine print…
- Teaser Rates – These great rates are awfully enticing. But be wary! That great rate could jump up to a much higher rate after 6 months or a year, making that short-term bargain very expensive in the long run.
- Prepayment Penalties – Sometimes they’ll throw in a steep prepayment penalty to keep you from paying off the loan and hold you at a higher rate (often several years).
- Unanticipated Costs – Watch for words like closing costs, annual fees, appraisals, and other fees. These costs can add up, making a great deal not so good.
As with any loan, you’ll save money if you take the time to compare the interest rates and fees charged by a number of banks and credit unions and look at it from a long-term perspective. If you have any questions or would like help determining the best value, please contact us. We’ll be happy to assist you.
