Story summary
- Homeowners in the U.S. are increasingly turning to home equity loans to manage high-interest debt and inflation.
- These loans typically offer fixed rates lower than those of personal loans and credit cards, providing access to significant funds.
- For example, a $100,000 loan at 8.18% over 10 years results in monthly payments of about $1,222.
- Home equity loans may also allow for tax deductions if used for qualifying home improvements.
- Borrowers should be aware of risks, including potential foreclosure, and are encouraged to compare lenders for better terms.
