Home Equity Loan
A type of loan in which a homeowner borrows against the equity in their property, typically at a fixed interest rate and for a fixed term.
More Details
A home equity loan is a type of loan that allows you to borrow against the equity in your home. A home equity loan typically has a fixed repayment term, which means you borrow a fixed amount of money and make fixed monthly payments for a set period of time.
