Homeowners make the common mistake of thinking that they need to refinance to pull a lump sum of cash out of their home. Whether you need extra money to fund home renovations, pay down debts or strengthen your savings account, a home equity loan could be the best option for you.

A home equity loan lets you pull money out of your home without touching your current mortgage! Unlike a HELOC, this option comes with a fixed-interest rate, so you don’t have to worry about monthly payments fluctuating. This is a great option for homeowners looking to take advantage while home equity levels are still high.

Does your kitchen need an update? Bad plumbing causing you headaches? Kids begging for a backyard pool? The cash you need to make those updates could be easier to access than you may think. Speak with a Home Loan Expert today to see how much cash you could pull from your home.

Stuck with student loans and credit card debt? You may not be able to pay them off just yet, but there is a way to ease the burden. By taking cash out of your home, you could use it to pay off higher interest debt and reduce the number of different payments you have to make every month. Rocket Mortgage® experts are standing by to help you go over your options.

Looking to start a college fund? Add to your investment portfolio? Or simply save up for a rainy day? The cash you need could be right at your fingertips. Connect with a Home Loan Expert to see how much cash you could get out of your home and help secure a better future for your family.
