Home Equity Loan Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use the home equity loan for?

Home equity loans are a convenient way to finance almost anything, including home improvements, an education, or a second property. Because of the competitive interest rates and potential tax advantages of home equity loans, you can also use them to consolidate credit card debt or high interest rate loans.

How much will I qualify for?

The minimum loan amount you qualify for will depend on how much equity you have in your home. Home equity is calculated as the appraised value of your homestead, minus the amount of your mortgage balance.

Section 50(a)(6)(B) of the Texas Constitution allows a loan amount up to eighty percent of the market value of the homestead.

Are there any closing costs?

Yes, you should expect to pay closing costs for your home equity loan.

Can home equity loan interest be deducted?

Interest may be tax-deductible. Check with your tax advisor.

Do I have other options if I do not want to borrow against my home’s equity?

If you have a TDECU Mortgage and do not want to borrow against your equity, a Home Advantage Personal Loan might be right for you.

Does TDECU offer 2nd lien home equity loans?

Yes! TDECU now offers “2nd Lien” Home Equity Loans. Speak with one of our mortgage loan officers today to discuss other loan options that might suit your home loan needs.

We are ready for you! Start the approval process online, or reach out to us in one of the following ways: 

APR = Annual Percentage Rate

Rates, APRs, and terms are subject to change without notice and are subject to credit approval, income and asset verification, and property eligibility requirements. Property insurance is required. Flood insurance may also be required depending on the location of the property. Additional fees, closing costs, and escrow requirements may apply.

Rate assumptions: Advertised rates assume a $350,000 loan amount, 80% CLTV, owner-occupied single-family residence, 740+ FICO score, and a 30-year conventional fixed-rate cash-out refinance. Actual rate, APR, payment, and terms may vary based on credit qualifications and loan characteristics (including loan amount, loan-to-value, product, and occupancy).

Repayment example: A $350,000 loan with a 30-year fixed term at 7.13% interest rate and 7.19% APR has a monthly principal and interest payment of $2,359.54. Taxes, insurance, and escrow amounts are not included; actual payment obligations will be higher.

Adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) disclosure: ARM rates and payments may increase after the initial fixed-rate period.

Texas home equity products: Home equity loans and lines of credit are available only on eligible Texas homesteads and are subject to credit approval. Total debt secured by a homestead may not exceed 80% of the property's fair market value. HELOC APRs are variable and may increase or decrease over time. Texas home equity loans are subject to a 12-day waiting period and a three-day right of rescission.

Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.

2 ARM = Adjustable Rate Mortgage. Loans subject to credit approval. Example for a 3.25% APR on a $160,000 loan will require a monthly principal and interest payment of $696.33 for 30 years. Payment does not include taxes and insurance so actual payment obligation will be greater. ARMs are variable and the rate may increase after the original fixed rate period. Certain terms and conditions may apply.
