WHAT IS A HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT (HELOC)?
A HELOC turns the equity in your home into ongoing, affordable financing for almost anything — home improvements, education expenses, an emergency reserve, and much more. You apply once, then use the line repeatedly thereafter.
HOW IS THE INTEREST RATE DETERMINED?
The HELOC uses competitive variable pricing based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Your local BRB banker can walk you through current pricing and what it means for your payment.
WHAT PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE?
Both primary and secondary residential property are eligible to secure a Blue Ridge Bank Home Equity Line of Credit.
HOW DOES REVOLVING CREDIT WORK?
As you repay principal, that amount becomes available to use again. Funds are available anytime without reapplying, so you can draw, repay, and reuse your line as your needs change.
CAN I SET UP AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS?
Yes. You can set up automatic payments to be deducted from your account monthly, making it easy to stay on track.
IS THE INTEREST TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
The interest paid may be tax deductible. Please consult a tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation.
