Understanding SECU MD HELOCs
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) from SECU MD gives you flexibility. Unlike a standard loan where you get a lump sum, a HELOC lets you draw funds as needed, up to a limit. This calculator estimates payments during the repayment phase (when you must pay back principal and interest).
How to Use This HELOC Calculator
Plan your credit line usage:
- Home Value & Mortgage: Determine your available equity.
- Desired Credit Line: How much do you plan to utilize?
- Repayment Term: Usually 20 years after the 10-year draw period ends.
Draw Period vs. Repayment Period
Most HELOCs have two phases:
- Draw Period (e.g., 10 Years): You can borrow money and usually pay interest only on what you use.
- Repayment Period (e.g., 20 Years): You can no longer borrow, and must pay back principal plus interest. Payments will likely increase significantly.
