Remodeling expenses

Paying for a remodel. We would have to recommend the freedom and security of a Home Equity Line of Credit with a Fixed Rate Advance Option. A HELOC allows you to take money out as you need it, as the remodel moves forward. The FRAO option allows you to lock in specific borrowed amounts of money into fixed rates so you do not have to worry about market flucatuation. In addition it allows you to plan for unexpected expenses. You can establish a larger HELOC loan amount than you think you need and only draw out the fund that you need. Of course other programs like cash out refinances can offer solutions as well. Make sure you explore all options to avoid taking on more risk than you are comfortable with. Although the HELOC with the FRAO option has a safety net, there is nothing like a 30 year fixed first mortgage.
