Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC)

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is secured by your home and allows you to access the available equity you have in your home. With a HELOC, you can borrow as much or as little as you need, whenever you need it — up to a credit limit established at closing.

As you repay your outstanding balance, the amount of available credit is replenished — meaning you can borrow against it again throughout your draw period. Whether you need to cover home improvements or fund a large purchase or dream vacation, HELOC financing can help.

FAQS

Can I make additional principal payments on a HELOC?

Yes. You can make additional principal payments once your current monthly payment has been satisfied.

Do I have to pay closing costs on a fixed rate home equity loan or a home equity line of credit?

Riverview will pay for all closing costs on a HELOC. You, as the borrower, would pay closing costs on a Home Equity fixed rate loan.

How does a HELOC work?

A HELOC is a line of credit secured by your home. As with a credit card, you can borrow as needed up to an approved credit limit. A HELOC’s term includes a draw period, followed by a repayment period. At Riverview, you can draw (or borrow) money for 10 years. Interest will accrue on what has been borrowed. Your monthly payment is interest only, but we encourage you to pay towards the principal as often as possible to avoid a large balloon payment at the end of the 10-year draw period.

How long does it take to get a home equity loan/line of credit?

Processing times are currently estimated to take up to 45 calendar days to close on a new home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC) once we receive your application. Processing times may vary if an appraisal or additional documentation is needed.

How soon will I get my money once the home equity loan or line of credit closes?

If the property used to secure your equity loan or line of credit is your primary residence, there’s a 3-business-day waiting period after closing (you can change your mind and cancel your loan during this time). Your funds or line of credit will be available after the 3-day period ends. The 3-day waiting period doesn’t apply for investment properties and second homes.

What information will I need to apply for a home equity loan or line of credit?

The easiest way to apply is by going to our website or mobile and completing the online application. Once your application is received, have these documents on hand in case your Processor requests them:

Most recent 30 days of paystubs
Retirement statements (e.g., Social Security Awards letter)
Proof of homeowners insurance
2 years of W-2’s
Copy of your deed

Additional documentation may be required if you’re self-employed. This is not an exhaustive list of documentation that may be requested.

What repayment terms are available on a Fixed-Rate Equity Loan?

Riverview offers Fixed-Rate Equity Loans with 5-, 7-, 10- and 15-year repayment terms.

What’s home equity?

Home equity is the difference between how much you owe on your mortgage and how much your home is worth. You can build equity as you pay down your loan balance and as the market value of your home increases. Riverview has home equity loan options that could help you to use your home’s equity to help you pay for life’s big expenses.

What’s the difference between a Fixed-Rate Equity Loan and a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)?

With a Fixed-Rate Equity Loan, you receive the money you’re borrowing in a single payment, and the interest rate stays the same for the life of the loan. With a HELOC, you have the ability to borrow money whenever you need it up to your maximum credit limit. Unlike Fixed-Rate Equity Loans, HELOCs have variable interest rates.
