Home equity lines of credit allow you to borrow as needed for occasional expenses, such as tuition payments or emergency money in a pinch. And with multiple draw options—with a check, online, over the phone, or at a branch—they offer convenience as well as peace of mind.

Home equity loans offer a one-time lump sum that is repaid by a fixed monthly payment. They’re a great way to borrow for reducing debt or making improvements on your home.

Renovating and repairing your home is about more than comfort and functionality—it adds value to your investment.

Make Purchases

Finance significant purchases at a rate that's lower than your credit card.

¹The sample annual percentage rate (APR) is based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate (index) as of 8/14/2022, plus a margin subject to credit qualifications. The sample APR reflects a combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio of 80% or lower, and a 0.50% interest rate discount that is available for HELOCs with monthly automatic payments (ACH) established and elected at the time of application to be paid from a borrower’s Flagstar Bank deposit account. APR remains variable for the life of the loan.

Flagstar Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a variable rate, revolving line of credit secured by primary residence; specifically, 1- to 4-unit residential homes and modular homes. HELOC loan amounts can vary between $10,000 and $1 million with a combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio of 89.99% or lower. Effective 8/14/2022, the current variable APR will range from 6.24% to 21.00%. It will not exceed 21.00% APR. Actual APR will be based on the variable rate index value in effect at the time of account opening, plus a margin determined by the borrower's credit qualifications, the amount of the line of credit, lien position, CLTV ratio, type of property, and other factors. APR remains variable for the life of the loan. Annual fee is $75 per year and is waived the first year. The HELOC must remain open for at least 36 months to avoid payment of closing fees, including, but not limited to, title, appraisal, document signing fee, and recording fees. Borrower is responsible for paying all applicable government taxes and fees at closing as permitted by law. During the 10-year draw period, for the (a) interest-only payment terms, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the finance charges that have accrued for that billing cycle or for the (b) principal and interest payment terms, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the amount sufficient to repay the account balance in full by the maturity date in substantially equal payments plus the finance charges that accrued for that billing cycle, and other fees, charges, and costs. During the repayment period, the minimum payment for each billing cycle will equal the greater of $100 or the amount sufficient to repay the account balance in full by the maturity date in substantially equal payments plus the finance charges that accrued for that billing cycle and other fees, charges, and costs. The borrower is responsible for separate payments of property taxes and insurance.
