What is Home Equity?
Home equity is the portion of your home you truly own - the difference between your home's value and what you owe on your mortgage.
Loan-to-Value (LTV)
LTV compares your mortgage balance to your home's value. Lower LTV means more equity and better loan terms.
Borrowing Power
Most lenders allow HELOCs up to 80-85% of your home's value minus what you owe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is home equity?
Home equity is the current market value of your home minus what you owe on your mortgage. It represents the portion of your home you truly own.
How is LTV calculated?
Loan-to-Value (LTV) is calculated by dividing your mortgage balance by your home's current value. For example, $250,000 mortgage ÷ $400,000 home value = 62.5% LTV.
How much can I borrow with a HELOC?
Most lenders allow you to borrow up to 80-85% of your home's value minus your current mortgage. This is called your combined loan-to-value (CLTV).
What's a good LTV ratio?
LTV under 80% is generally considered good and may help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) and qualify for better rates.
How can I increase my home equity?
Make larger mortgage payments, make home improvements that increase value, or wait for your home's value to appreciate over time.
