Should You Tap Your Home’s Equity?

Conduct a careful review of your financial situation before you borrow against your home, rental property, or second home. A home equity loan can be a valuable tool for responsible borrowers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV) is a measure of the amount of the loan compared to the appraised value of the property. It is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the appraised value or purchase price of the property, whichever is lower, and is expressed as a percentage.

How is LTV Calculated?

The formula to calculate LTV is:

LTV = (Loan Amount / Appraised Value of the Property) × 100

For example, if you want to borrow $150,000 to buy a house that appraises for $200,000, the LTV would be:

LTV = ($150,000 / $200,000) × 100 = 75%

Why is LTV Important?

  • Risk Assessment: Lenders use the LTV ratio to assess risk. A lower LTV ratio means less risk for the lender because the borrower has more equity in the property.
  • Interest Rates: Higher LTV ratios often result in higher interest rates because the loan is considered riskier.
  • Loan Approval: Some loans have maximum LTV ratios. For instance, conventional loans typically require an LTV of 80% or less to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).
  • Borrower Equity: The LTV ratio gives borrowers an idea of how much equity they have in their property. Higher equity can lead to better loan terms.

Typical LTV Ratios

  • Conventional Loans: Generally, lenders prefer an LTV of 80% or lower.
  • FHA Loans: These can allow for higher LTV ratios, often up to 96.5%.
  • VA Loans: These can have LTV ratios up to 100%.

Impact on Home Equity Loans and HELOCs

For Home Equity Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs), lenders often require a combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio, which includes the first mortgage and the home equity loan or line of credit. A typical CLTV requirement might be 85% or lower.

Understanding the LTV ratio is crucial for both lenders and borrowers, as it affects loan approval, terms, and the overall cost of borrowing.

If you cannot repay your HELOC according to the terms, you risk foreclosure on your home, as the property is collateral for the loan. It's essential to borrow responsibly and within your means.
In many cases, the interest paid on a HELOC may be tax-deductible if the funds are used for home improvements or other qualifying expenses. Consult with a tax advisor to understand your specific tax implications.
Yes, there may be fees associated with a HELOC, such as an application fee, annual fee, closing costs, or early closure fee. It's essential to review the terms and conditions of the HELOC agreement to understand the fees involved.
The amount you can borrow with a HELOC depends on factors such as the equity in your home, your creditworthiness, and the lender's policies. Typically, you can borrow up to a certain percentage (e.g., 80-90%) of your home's appraised value minus any outstanding mortgage balance.
HELOC funds can be used for various purposes, such as home improvements, debt consolidation, education expenses, major purchases, or emergencies. It provides flexibility to access funds when needed.
The interest rate on a HELOC is typically variable and may be based on an index, such as the prime rate, plus a margin determined by your creditworthiness. This means your payments can fluctuate based on market conditions.
The draw period is the initial period (typically 5-10 years) during which you can access funds from your HELOC and make interest-only payments. After the draw period ends, you enter the repayment period, in which you pay back both principal and interest.
Unlike a home equity loan, which provides a lump sum of money with fixed payments, a HELOC offers a revolving credit line with a draw period during which you can borrow and repay funds as needed. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow.
A HELOC is a revolving line of credit that uses your home as collateral. It allows you to borrow funds as needed, up to a predetermined credit limit, using the equity you've built in your home.
credit line allows you to borrow in increments, repay it and borrow again as long as the line remains open. Typically, you will be required to pay interest on borrowed balance while the line is open for borrowing, which makes it different from a conventional loan, which is repaid in fixed installments.  A line of credit will have a set limit in which you will be approved for and you can borrow based off the limit.

Nothing herein shall limit or restrict the remedies available to us following any event of default under the terms of your loan documents.

Cross-collateralization: Property given as security for this loan or for any other loan Borrower has with the credit union will secure all amounts Borrower owes the credit union now and in the future. However, property securing another debt will not secure this loan if such property is Borrower’s principal residence (unless the proper rescission notices are given and any other legal requirements are satisfied), or are non-purchase money household goods. IF YOU HAVE A CREDIT CARD WITH US, THIS CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION CLAUSE ALSO APPLIES TO THAT CREDIT CARD.

Release of Lien: We will not release any lien on any collateral under this Note if you are delinquent on, or in default on, any other loan you have with us. For example, if you are in default on a line of credit, we will not release our lien on a vehicle loan, even if the vehicle loan is current or paid in full.

Transfer of Collateral: You will not change the location of, sell or transfer the collateral unless you have our prior written consent.

Good Title: You warrant that you have good title to the collateral, free of all security interests except that given to the credit union and except for any interest of a non-co-maker owner of the collateral who has signed the agreement in the indicated place.

Maintenance of Collateral: You will pay all taxes, assessments, and liens against or attached to the property described and further agree to keep the property in good condition, housed in a suitable shelter. You agree to execute financing statements and security agreement amendments at our request and will defend the property against adverse third party claims.

Additional Security: Should we feel at any time that the security presented has diminished in value, or for any reason feel that additional security is required, you agree to assign to us within ten (10) days whatever additional security we feel is necessary to protect us against possible loss.

Actions Upon Default: If a default as defined in the Loan Agreement should occur, we, or a third party designated by us, have the authority, upon such default, to repossess and sell the collateral in a lawful manner. This includes authority to take possession of any personal property contained in the collateral. In such cases, we or our authorized representatives may, at our option, enter the premises where the collateral is kept and take possession, subject to applicable laws. We have the right to render the property pledged as collateral unusable and may dispose of the collateral on the premises where the collateral is kept. If we decide to sell the collateral at a public sale, private sale or otherwise dispose of the collateral, we will provide reasonable notice if required by law and will otherwise comply with applicable state law. If we sell or otherwise dispose of the collateral we may collect from you reasonable expenses incurred in the retaking, holding and preparing the collateral for and arranging the sale of the collateral. We may also collect reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses, permitted by applicable law, incurred in connection with disposition of the property. Unless you default, you may keep possession of the property (collateral) described and use it in any lawful manner consistent with this agreement or with the insurance policy on the collateral. You understand that we have certain rights and legal remedies available to us under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws, and that we may use these rights to enforce payment if you default. In the event of default, you will at our request assemble the property (collateral) and make it available to us at a place of our choosing. If we decide to waive this default, it will not constitute waiver of any other subsequent defaults.

Attorney-in-Fact: We are hereby appointed as your Attorney-in-Fact to perform any acts which we feel are necessary to protect the collateral and the security interest which this agreement creates.

Joint Borrowers: If there is more than one borrower, your obligations under this agreement are joint and several, each being equally responsible to fulfill the terms of this agreement.

Others Bound: This security agreement not only binds you, but your executors, administrators, heirs, and assigns.

Further Assurances: You agree to execute any further documents, and to take any further actions, reasonably requested by Credit Union in order to evidence or perfect the security interests granted herein or to effectuate the rights granted to Credit Union.

Governing Law: This Security Agreement is being executed and delivered in, and is intended to be performed in, the State in which our headquarters are located and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State in which our headquarters are located, except to the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code provides for the application of the law of another state.

Additional Advances: Any additional advances made by us for the payment of taxes or assessments or liens of any kind, or premiums on insurance and the interest owing thereon or any other advance necessary to perfect or protect our security interest shall also be secured by this agreement. Such amounts shall be added to your loan balance and your minimum payment due shall be increased or your loan term extended accordingly.

Applies to Louisiana residents only:

Louisiana law permits repossession of motor vehicles upon default without further notice or judicial process.

If the secured collateral is a motor vehicle and you are in default, we may seize and sell the motor vehicle without demand for payment or advance notice to you. Collateral other than motor vehicles may be repossessed without judicial process only as allowed by applicable Louisiana law.

For purposes of foreclosure under Louisiana executory process, you hereby confess judgment in our favor for all amounts secured by the Note, including, but not limited to, principal, interest, late charges, costs of collection, costs of preservation of the collateral, reasonable attorney’s fees, and all other amounts under the Note. We may appoint a keeper of the property in the event of foreclosure. To the extent allowed under Louisiana law, you hereby waive the following rights and procedures under Louisiana law: (a) all rights and benefit of appraisal; (b) notice of seizure; (c) the 3-day delay afforded under Articles 2331 and 2722; and (d) all other provisions under Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723 and all other Articles not specifically mentioned herein. You further agree that any declaration of fact made by authentic act by a person declaring that such facts are within his or her knowledge shall constitute authentic evidence of facts for the purposes of foreclosure under applicable Louisiana law and for the purposes of LSA-R.S. 9:3504(D)(6) and LSA-R.S. 10:9-508, to the extent applicable.

PROPERTY INSURANCE; LENDER-PLACED INSURANCE – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

(a) Your requirement to maintain property insurance. You are required to carry insurance to protect your interest and our interest in the collateral securing this loan. The insurance:

• Must protect against any loss by fire or theft, and collision and comprehensive coverage on motor vehicles and other property pledged as security on this Loan.
• Must (i) be in an amount and type sufficient to repair the collateral to its existing condition prior to the loss, and/or to replace the collateral with comparable or like property, minus depreciation, if it is damaged or lost; or (ii) be in an amount and type as we might otherwise inform you that we require.
• Must have a maximum deductible as set forth by us.
• Must be maintained in force for as long as the loan is outstanding.
• Must name us as loss payee. We must receive the loss payee endorsement within 30 days of your loan date.

These requirements are solely in our discretion and we may change any of these requirements at any time for any reason. The insurance may be obtained by any insurer of your choice that is acceptable to us.

(b) Lender-placed property insurance. Please read carefully:

• If you fail to maintain insurance satisfying the requirements set forth above, or if you fail to provide us proof of such coverage, we may, but do not have to, obtain insurance to protect our interest (not yours) in the property.
• The total cost of lender-placed insurance will be added to the loan balance. The total cost of this insurance includes, but is not limited to, the premium, any administrative costs we incur, any commissions that may be earned, and other reasonable expenses related to your failure to maintain insurance. This cost will be paid by you either on demand, or by increasing your periodic payment, or by extending the loan term.
• Whether we obtain insurance, and the amount and types of coverage that we may obtain, is solely in our discretion. We may obtain this insurance from anyone we want, including an affiliate of ours, and such affiliate may earn a commission on the coverage.
• The insurance placed by us is without benefit to you personally, and is primarily for our protection. It may not adequately protect your interest in the collateral or any personal property contained in the collateral, and will not satisfy any mandatory liability or financial responsibility requirements under state law.
• Coverage obtained by us may be considerably more expensive than coverage you could obtain on your own and may be different than previous policies you may have had or policies that you may prefer.
• Any insurance placed by us will be effective as of the date your policy lapsed or, if you never obtained insurance, the date of the loan.
• Nothing in this agreement is intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights or status to you with respect to any agreements between us and our insurer or its agent.

(c) How to remove lender-placed property insurance. You may have the lender-placed coverage cancelled at any time by providing evidence to us that you have purchased insurance coverage satisfying the requirements set forth above. If you do so, you will receive a refund of any unearned premiums and finance charges on the lender-placed coverages and your loan balance will be adjusted accordingly.
(d) Other. You assign us the right to receive and endorse any insurance proceeds check, to apply those proceeds to the sums you owe, and you direct any insurer to pay those proceeds directly to us. You further authorize us or our representative to obtain the necessary information for verification of adequate coverage. We, or our affiliates, may receive compensation or reimbursement of expenses related to any insurance premiums added by us.
(e) Default. If you fail to maintain insurance as set forth above, you will be in default of your loan. We may either place our own insurance on the collateral as explained above, or we can declare you in default and take all remedies set forth in your loan or security agreement or available to us under applicable law, including calling the loan immediately due.
