I randomly chose Tonya to visit with back in the fall when I was thinking of buying a property. I had googled lenders in my area, but I was drawn to Tonya's website, possibly because she was a female.. Sometimes men can be intimidating. She was very nice and we had a good visit. She gave me the information I needed to know how much I could afford to purchase. So that got tabled!! When spring rolled around and I decided to go ahead and invest in a property, I knew I wanted Tonya to be my lender. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and dedicated! She presented me with different options for my loan , plus processed a HELOC for me. She worked really hard And we were able to close in two weeks!

You’ve got HELOC questions. We’ve got answers.
A HELOC, or home equity line of credit, is a revolving line of credit secured by your home. It lets you borrow against your available equity as needed, rather than taking all the funds at once. They may have a lower rate than unsecured debts like personal loans.
This flexibility can make a HELOC especially useful for expenses that happen in stages or are difficult to predict upfront, like home renovations, ongoing tuition costs, or debt consolidation.
A HELOC may be the right choice if you want to keep borrowing flexible and only draw what you need, when you need it.
Can I get a HELOC on an investment or rental property?
Yes, HELOCs are available for investment and rental properties, though they may have different requirements and rates than primary residences.
What Are the Closing Costs for a HELOC?
HELOC closing costs can vary but typically include fees for appraisal, title search, and documentation. Some lenders may offer reduced or waived fees, so be sure to ask about options when you apply.
How are HELOC payments estimated?
Your HELOC payment depends on your outstanding balance and current interest rate. Many HELOCs offer interest-only payments during the draw period, which keeps monthly payments low.
