Fixed Rate Home Equity Loan
As the owner of your own home, you have a very important resource available to help you weather many financial storms including the current global credit crunch. With the credit crunch in the news on a daily basis, it’s a good time to take a look at the equity tide up in your biggest asset – your home. A home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a loan, which is basically granted using your house’s value as collateral. The size of the loan will depend on the difference between your current mortgage value and the current value of your home.
A fixed rate home equity loan is a great way of freeing extra cash which you can use for a variety of purposes including debt consolidation, wealth creation through good sound investment of capital, education, home improvement etc.
But before you decide on a fixed rate home equity loan or on a variable rate home equity loan its best to compare the pro’s and cons of each type so that you can make the right decision for you.
With your home equity loan being one of the biggest long term financial decisions you’ll make, its best to get the decision right from the very beginning. Getting it wrong could literally cost you thousands.
The question is whether to consider fixed rate home equity loan or a variable rate home equity loan.
Fixed Rate home equity loan
A fixed rate home equity loan is a loan where the interest and thus the repayment are fixed at a certain interest rate for a certain period. The period varies but can be anything from two to five years to the length of the loan. The pros of a fixed rate home equity loan are:
They provide certainty with regards to payments
You can budget easily if you sign up for a fixed rate mortgage
Even if the interest rate climbs, your payments remain constant
Cons of a fixed rate home equity loan include:
Your payments do not decrease if the rate decreases
You cannot take advantage of market up and downs
Initial rates on the fixed rate mortgages are usually higher than variable rate deals.
A fixed rate home equity loan can help to cap your payments and they make it easier to budget. The best time to take advantage of a fixed rate home equity loan is when the rates dip a little. You can then refinance your home equity loan with fixed rate home equity loan and take advantage of the fact that rates will climb.
Variable Rate home equity loan
As opposed to fixed rate home equity loan, the interest on a variable rate home equity loan changes all the time. This means that when interest rates climb, so does your home equity loan repayment.
The pros of this type of home equity loan is that if rates fall, so does your repayments, but unlike fixed rate home equity loan, it is very difficult to budget for payments which fluctuate. This type does however allow you to take advantage of changing market conditions.
If the current rates are high, then its best to go for a variable interest rate loan and then once the rates fall, to try to change it to fixed rate home equity loan.

A home equity loan means borrowing money from a bank against the equity that you currently have in your home. The equity is the value of your home minus the amount of the mortgage that you have.

Question by 27amDotCom: What to look for when shopping around for home equity loans?
Any advice on what to look for when shopping around for home equity loans?
Are there referral commissions?
I have a couple of individuals looking for a home equity loan … I told them I’d look into it for them. I’d like to find a quality vendor, but if referrals commissions are paid out, I’d like to negotiate for that too.
How do I figure out what is a “great deal”?
PS. I’ll happily take general replies but this would be specific to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
