Three ways to access equity.
A home equity loan generally provides a lump sum with a fixed payment. A HELOC offers access to a credit line during a draw period, usually with a variable rate. Cash-out refinancing replaces your existing mortgage with a larger loan.
Home equity loan: lump-sum funding
HELOC: draw funds as needed
Cash-out refinance: replace the first loan

Home equity borrowing uses your home as collateral; failure to repay can result in foreclosure. HELOC rates and payments may change. Availability and terms depend on credit, income, property value, existing liens and lender requirements.
