Important Information. A HELOC is a revolving line of credit secured by a 1-4 unit residential or modular home. After any introductory period ends, the APR and payments will be based on the WSJPR Index plus a margin. Since the WSJPR Index may change periodically, the APR and payments are variable and may increase or decrease multiple times over the life of the HELOC. The margin is fixed and is based on specific characteristics of the credit application, including credit score, line amount, property type, lien position, CLTV and geographic location. The APR will never exceed 21% or be less than the margin. Fees to open a HELOC generally range between $0 and $10,000. A fee of $75, waived for the first year, will be charged annually thereafter. Flagstar pays customary closing fees which does not include additional required fees for loans over $500,000 or some government taxes and fees. If the HELOC account is terminated within 36 months of account opening, borrower repayment of closing fees will be required. Borrower is also responsible for making separate payments for property insurance and flood insurance (if loan is in a flood zone). HELOCs are offered in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Properties in Texas. Property type is limited to 1-unit residential structure with a maximum CLTV of 80%. There are no annual fees nor requirement for repayment of closing fees. Considerations.
