Repaying a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) requires payment to the lender, which typically includes both repayment of the loan principal plus monthly interest on the outstanding balance. Some HELOCs allow you to make interest-only payments for a defined period of time, after which a repayment period begins.

Interest-Only Fixed-Rate Equity Loan. Our Interest-Only Fixed-Rate Equity Loan is a good option if you want lower payments up-front and a fixed rate for the life of the loan. You begin with low, interest-only payments for the first five years, then move to principal-and-interest.
