What is a HELOC?

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a revolving line secured by your home. You draw what you need (up to your credit limit), repay, and can draw again — similar to a credit card, but typically at lower rates because it’s secured.1: Navigates to numbered disclaimer 8: Navigates to numbered disclaimer

Use our HELOC calculator to see how much you could qualify to borrow**

The amount you can borrow with a HELOC will vary based on certain factors such as the appraised value of your home and what percentage of that value the lender will allow you to borrow.

To determine how much you can borrow with a HELOC, you need to first calculate the maximum amount of equity that could be borrowed. Figure’s loan amounts range from a minimum of $15,000 to a maximum of $750,000.5: Navigates to numbered disclaimer

Enormously helpful throughout the process

I recently took a loan through Figure. They were enormously helpful throughout the process. Being a senior citizen businessman I appreciated their making my time count. I plan on using them again if possible to fund my future business needs.
