When it comes to accessing the equity in your home, OmniAmerican offers Home Equity Loans along with a knowledgeable staff to assist you during the loan process.
What is Home Equity Lending?
A Home Equity Loan is a loan that
allows you to borrow against the equity in your home for any purpose other than the purchase of that home.
The difference
between the balance on your mortgage and the current appraised value of your home is the
equity in your home.
What can you do with a Home Equity Loan?
- Pay
outstanding medical bills
- Finance your or your child's education
- Purchase a new car or dream vacation
- Make improvements to your home
- Start a small business
Most importantly, you can save money with
a Home Equity Loan. Your monthly payment may be lower, you'll save money on finance
charges and the interest may be tax deductible. Please consult a qualified
tax advisor for more details.
