Make it happen with a HELOC

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.

1Introductory Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is available for the first 6 billing cycles after the account open date and is subject to initial draw requirements and other exclusions. For lines of credit greater than $50,000, the initial draw must be the greater of 50% of the full line amount or $50,000. For lines of credit less than $50,000, the initial draw must be the full line amount. For properties in Texas, an initial draw is not required; however, if a draw is taken it must be for at least $4,000. Introductory rates are available for new HELOC accounts that are secured by a primary residence. Purchase transactions or refinances of existing Flagstar loans are not eligible for introductory rates. No other discounts are available during the introductory period. Offer can expire at any time.
