The mortgage is generally what you use to buy the house. An HELOC is used for other stuff, like buying a car, paying for a vacation, etc. HELOC's usually have a higher interest rate, and it tends to change more often than Mortgages (even ARM's) - usually monthly, in fact. They are both secured by the property, and both are tax deductible in most cases. |

Home equity is simple deposit of title deeds, and mortgage is the registered deed. |

A mortgage is the loan you pay to buy your home. A home equity line of credit is when you borrow against your equity, the money you have above what you owe on your house. For example, if your house is worth $250,000 and you owe $100,000 you have $150,000 equity in your home and you can borrow some or all of the equity, usually to make home improvements. |

When you take a Mortgage you get the whole amount at the time of closing, i mean if you have a $100000 Mortgage you will get this $100000 at the very same time of closing. Whereas in HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit) You get a credit line and you can take any amount out of it, i mean if you have a credit line of $100000 you can even borrow $25000 out of it.
The best part of HELOC is you pay the interest rate only on the amount taken, for ex- if you have a HELOC worth $100000 and you take $25000 out of it you will pay the interest rate on $25000 only.
The disadvantage of HELOC is the interest rate generally on equity lines is always higher as compare to the first Mortgage.
One more benefil about HELOC is, if you have a line of credit it can be used any time, i mean if you need $50000 and you have a HELOC of $100000, you can take the amount out of it any time, you don't need to apply for a new loan.
Hope this will help you for further queries feel free to write me at refinance@inbox.com |

Not much
They are both loans that are secured by your property.
Lenders like to call second mortgages "home equity loans", people tend to not think of it as a mortgage and are more likely to apply for it. |

a home equity line of credit (aka HELOC) is usually a 2nd mortgage used for home improvements, debt consolidation, or whatever else you would want to use it for...a HELOC line can only be accessed for up to the amount the house is worth versus what you owe (worth $100k, you owe $75k HELOC max line typically $15k because usually can only owe 90% of what the house is worth)...HELOC can also be used to avoid PMI which is usually attached to a primary mortgage if you don't have 20% equity in a home |

A mortgage is the money that you use to buy a house. A home equity line of credit is the money that the bank grants you based on your house value. The home equity line of credit you can use it for anything you want, pay debts, buy a car, etc. The mortgage just can be used to buy a house. |

A mortgage is used to purchase a home. A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is also a mortgage, it's a line of credit (like a credit card) that is secured by your home and is tax deductible. Many people use HELOC's to pay for things that are not tax deductible, like a car or vacation. I actually work at a mortgage company and most of the clients that come in for HELOC's want to pay off debts.
Hope that helps. |
