There are so many ways to borrow money in Vancouver. If you’re looking to finance the cost of just about anything, you’ll likely be able to find an option in Vancouver that works for your needs. Did you know you can even borrow against your own home?

To borrow money against your home, you can take out what’s known as a HELOC, which is short for a home equity line of credit. Read on to find out everything there is to know about a HELOC in Vancouver and whether or not it’s the right fit for you.

What is a HELOC?

Also referred to as a second mortgage, a HELOC in Vancouver basically allows you to borrow from the equity in your home. If you have enough equity built up in your property, you may qualify for a HELOC. They’re known as second mortgages because you’re actually using your home equity to gain access to cash and because HELOCs typically take the second position after your first original mortgage.

HELOCs are often confused with home equity loans, though they are somewhat different. While they both involve borrowing from the equity in your home, their payouts and repayment processes differ.

While a home equity loan provides you with a lump sum of money that’s charged interest for the total amount, a HELOC Vancouver works more like a credit card. You will be approved for a certain limit that you can borrow against, then you’re free to borrow as much or as little against that credit limit as you like.

You would only be charged interest on the portion that you borrow rather than the entire credit limit. Once you repay that money, you won’t be charged any more interest and you’re free to borrow again and again. HELOCs are essentially revolving credit that you can tap into whenever the need for extra cash is required in a hurry.

When is it a Good Idea to Take Out a Second Mortgage in Vancouver?

Just because you have may be eligible to take out a HELOC in Vancouver doesn’t necessarily mean that you should. Ideally, the second mortgage should only be considered for pressing expenses that you can’t fund any other way.

They should also only be used if you’re able to comfortably cover your loan expenses, or else you could wind up in hot water. Your house is used as collateral for a HELOC, so failure to repay the funds borrowed could result in you losing your home in Vancouver.

If you’re financially capable of repaying the loan, then a HELOC can be a great way to add more value to your home by upgrading it. Certain home improvements can bring in a high ROI and add plenty of value. If you’re planning to sell your home sometime in the future, improving it with funds used from a HELOC can be a great way to add some value that you’ll be able to recoup come sale time.

But if you’re just scraping by and are barely able to make your original mortgage payments, perhaps taking out a HELOC is not the way to go.
