How a HELOC Works

  • Draw Period

    Draw Period

    Your HELOC will have a 5-year or 10-year Draw Period, meaning you can access the funds for 5 years or 10 years. Throughout the Draw Period, you can access the funds as little or as much as you need.
  • Interest Rate

    Interest Rate

    The interest rate on your HELOC will be variable, meaning that it will adjust as the Prime Rate adjusts. During the Draw Period, your minimum payment will be interest-only on the amount you’ve used.
  • Access

    Access

    Like a credit card, a HELOC allows you to use funds as you need them. Your HELOC amount will be based on your equity and will not exceed 80% of your home value.
  • Repayment

    Repayment

    After the Draw Period, a 15-year Repayment Period starts for any amount that you’ve used from your HELOC. Payments include principal and interest.

Working with the MHV staff was such a pleasant experience

  • When we were looking for a Home Equity product to finance our son's college education, we did do comparison shopping in the area. Working with the MHV staff was such a pleasant experience. The electronic pre-closing and final closing made the whole process a breeze. MHV truly understands the needs of families, the flexibility and features of their Home Equity products are much better than similar products available from other financial institutions in this area.
