Yes. A HELOC, or home equity line of credit, is also called a second mortgage (it can be a third or fourth or more though). The HELOC is a line of credit that is backed by your home. If you default on your HELOC payment, you are defaulting on a mortgage and you lose your house when you default on it. The difference between the first mortgage and the HELOC will really only matter to the banker who takes your home. The HELOC gets paid after the first mortgage is paid, so HELOCs are therefore riskier loans and generally come with higher interest rates. Example: your home cost $100 and you put $20 down. You now have $20 worth of equity in your home. You borrow $20 against that $20 in equity, so you now owe the full $100 again ($80 for the first mortgage, $20 for second/HELOC). If you default on either loan, the bank takes your home and will sell it to cover the loans. The first mortgage gets paid from the sale and anything left over goes to the second/HELOC.
According to Forbes, college rates have been raising at around 7% per year for the past several decades. This equals out to be about a 76% raise in tuition costs over the past decade.
HELOC: stands for home equity line of credit, which is a line of credit secured against a second deed of trust on a property. A HELOC, is a line of credit from which you can withdraw money again and again. In many ways, a HELOC is just like a credit card, but the interest you pay is tax-deductible. You will close on a HELOC only one time, but if you decide after a few months that you need to withdraw additional money, you will be able to do so up to the value of the loan. That is to say, if you close on a HELOC for $60,000 and over a period of time pay back $13,000 toward the principal, that $13,000 is available to be drawn again at any time. You will continue to make payments toward what you owe; however, the full amount of the loan is always available to be drawn on, as long as the amount you owe and the amount you borrow do not exceed the total amount of the original HELOC.
