“It is amazing to work with a company where the phone is always answered, all questions are responded too, and they just care about the customers experience. I did a personal HELOC with Colorado Credit Union and it was by far the easiest loan I have ever received. Thank you!” — Brian P, CCU Member

What Is a Home Equity Loan or HELOC?
A Home Equity Loan or a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) lets you borrow money using the equity you’ve built in your home.
A Home Equity Loan—often called a Fixed-Rate Second Mortgage—gives you a lump sum upfront with predictable, fixed monthly payments. A HELOC, on the other hand, works like a revolving line of credit, giving you flexible access to funds as needed during a 10-year draw period.
FAQs:
How does a HELOC work in Colorado?
A HELOC lets you borrow against your home’s equity as needed during a 10‑year draw period, then repay the balance over 15 years. Payments are interest‑only during the draw period (Interest‑Only HELOC) or principal + interest (Platinum HELOC). Rates are variable and tied to Prime.
How much equity can I borrow from my Colorado home?
Most homeowners can borrow up to a combined loan‑to‑value (CLTV) of 80–90%, subject to credit qualification, property type, appraisal, and underwriting.
What are typical closing costs for a home equity loan?
Typical closing costs range from $442–$1,719 depending on the loan type and may include appraisal fees. If you apply for a Fixed‑Rate Second Mortgage, you’ll receive a Loan Estimate after you submit your application, with all costs broken out for you.
Is HELOC interest tax‑deductible?
Interest may be deductible when funds are used to buy, build, or substantially improve your home. Consult a tax advisor for details.
Can I refinance my HELOC or Home Equity Loan?
Yes, you can refinance either a HELOC or Home Equity Loan at any time. Common reasons include lowering your interest rate, accessing additional funds, or adjusting your repayment terms. For HELOCs, refinancing is especially popular at the end of the 10-year draw period to extend access to your equity or convert to a fixed-rate loan. Be sure to review your current loan terms and speak with a lending specialist to explore your options.
What’s the difference between a HELOC and a Home Equity Loan?
A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is a flexible, revolving credit line with a variable rate; a Home Equity Loan is a lump sum with a fixed rate and fixed payments over a set term. Both options use your home as collateral, but they differ in flexibility, rate structure, and repayment style.
