If a goal or major expense is on the horizon, a HELOC could be just the solution you need. Because they're secured by your home, HELOCs have lower rates than most credit cards. Plus, you can use the funds any way you'd like, now or later, because once your HELOC is approved, you can draw from it for 10 years.1
