With a home equity loan, the amount of equity that you have in your home determines the maximum loan amount available to you. Your home is used to secure the loan, which is for a specific amount and purpose. Your monthly payments are for a fixed amount.
Here's an easy way to estimate how much of your home's equity may be available to you in a home equity loan or line. Please note that this figure is an approximation. A professional appraiser must determine the actual market value of your home.
