A HELOC gives you a revolving line of credit, letting you borrow against your home’s equity. It’s a smart choice for ongoing expenses like renovations, unexpected costs, or consolidating debt while maintaining flexibility.

Home equity lines of credit empower homeowners to make renovations, buy a vacation home, or pay off high-interest debt and save money!
A HELOC can get you the extra cash you need to succeed—no matter the goal.
Just like when you bought your home, you’ll need an appraisal to confirm the value of your property. The appraiser will inspect your home and compare it to similar, recently sold homes in your area to determine an opinion of value.
Another factor to take into consideration is your DTI. DTI is all your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income. DTI is one way lenders measure your ability to repay the money you’re borrowing.
Most lenders require a DTI of 45% or lower, and the maximum DTI varies by the type of loan you receive. A high DTI can impact your ability to refinance or limit your refinance options. Remember that utilities, phones, etc. do not count toward your DTI. Contact a Gesa loan officer if you have any questions.
After all your documents are submitted, Gesa will work on underwriting your loan. This is where the underwriter checks all the details on your mortgage application and supporting documentation to make sure everything’s accurate and fulfills the necessary guidelines.
Once the underwriter approves all the required paperwork, your loan is nearly complete. Your lender will be in touch with you to schedule your closing and review your final loan numbers.
