Home Line CreditA home equity line of credit is a form of revolving credit in which your home serves as collateral. Because the home is likely to be a consumer's largest asset, many homeowners use their credit lines only for major items such as education, home improvements, or medical bills and not for day-to-day expenses. With a home equity line, you will be approved for a specific amount
of credit--your credit limit, the maximum amount you may borrow
at any one time under the plan. Many lenders set the credit limit
on a home equity line by taking a percentage (say, 75 percent) of
the home's appraised value and subtracting from that the balance
owed on the existing mortgage.
