Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Home Equity Loan and a Home Equity Line of Credit?
A Home Equity Loan is a fixed-rate loan that is secured by your home. It is sometimes called a second mortgage, as it works the same way as your primary, or first, mortgage. It enables you to use a portion of your equity through a single payout.
A Home Equity Line of Credit is a variable-rate form of revolving credit where the equity in your home serves as collateral. A Home Equity line allows you to draw money out when you need it, in smaller portions, without the need to qualify with every advance.
How do people use their Home Equity Loan funds?
Generally, people use a Home Equity Loan because it’s a convenient way to pay for major items such as, home improvements and repairs, education costs, medical bills, emergency expenses, automobiles, even weddings. These expenses typically require more money than day-to-day expenses.
Since the Home Equity Loan uses the equity in my home as collateral, what happens if I sell my home? Will I have to pay off the balance right away?
Yes, you will need to pay off your Home Equity balance at the time you close the sale of your home. A satisfaction of your mortgage will be sent to your attorney, to be used at the closing of the sale.
What is the term of my Home Equity Loan?
The Home Equity Loan can be available to you for as long as 15 years.
How long does the process take?
Due to the regulations we need to comply with, this process does take longer than a personal loan, but usually less time than a First Mortgage.
Is there a prepayment penalty?
No! If you pay the loan off early, not only is there no penalty, you save on the overall interest cost.
How much can I finance?
As a first lien, you can finance up to 100% of the appraised value. As a second lien, you can finance up to 95% of the appraised value less any existing liens. Meridia only accepts a first or second lien position on your primary residence.
