Should we wipe out savings or go with home equity line of credit to finance home improvements?

My husband and I are debating how to finance some home improvement projects. He says use savings, I say use a line of credit(repay within two years hopefully) I am afraid if we use savings we will never replace it. He doesn't want debt. Any opinions?


If you got the equity then go with the HELOC. If the home improvements are going to increase the value of your home then it's a no brainer. As long as you're not going to buy a car or take a vacation with it. Leave your savings alone.

...OR say you can get a HELOC @ 6% APR. Then the money in your savings account that you would have spent on your house - put that money in a CD (or some other investment vehicle) that earns 6% interest and then you're pretty much getting your home improvements for free. If you got 6% going out then see if you can get at least 6% coming in.... and then you'll make that much more when you sell the house because you didn't really pay much for the improvements.

When flipping homes what is the best way to finance? Line of credit or finance .?



Line of credit. Its like having cash in hand so the seller does not have to worry about you getting financed through the bank. This means the home doesn't have to appraise, and the lender cannot back out of funding the loan to you. Peace of mind is worth a lot to a seller, I pay cash for all my deals, and save significantly on the purchase price because of it.

How come on a Personal line of credit loan you get charged an apr and a periodic finance charge?

How come on a Personal line of credit loan you get charged an apr and a periodic finance charge? Why not just get a credit card then? I dont get it.. I know credit card rates are high now but most times you can find credit cards with lower rates then my line of credit. someone please tell me the positives of have a line of credit loan...


A "line of credit" is nothing more than a pre-negotiated, pre-approved loan. It has a maximum value you can draw. You have no charges until you actually USE some or all of the available funds. What you pay for this convenience is that there is no grace period as there is with a credit card and interest accrues immediately. Unlike a credit card, there is no "approval" process needed or required. You write a "check" against the line of credit and it is honored automatically since you are pre-approved. A line of credit is a fallback to other forms of loans. In essence, when someone calls your bank about your "check" they are informed by the bank that your check is equivalent to a certified check with the full backing of the bank behind it. What you are paying for with the interest and such is the convenience, pure and simple.

What is the difference between how the finance charges are calculated with a line of credit vs. credit card?

I consolidated my credit card debt to a line of credit charging 14.99. I received a balance transfer promotion of 7.99% for the life of the transfer from a credit card.


It sounds as if you will have to pay 14.99 on any new amounts you borrow. Any payments you make will always go toward reducing the original transfer until it has been completely paid off. So they're hoping you'll make lots of payments (to reduce the original amount) and lots of borrowing to increase the amount that's costing you 14.99 So, if you carefully pay off 100.00 every month and then borrow it all back at Christmas, or for a vacation you're doing what they hope you'll do. I guess 14.99 is better than many credit card rates but it's pretty high for a line of credit. By most people's definition a line of credit is calculated as 1-4% (depending on your credit rating) above prime (which right now is less than 5%) so if it were truly a line of credit you ought to be paying at most 9-10% for everything.

    Set up a basic credit criteria, in which based on your clients credit score or certain qualifying options that you create, you base your credit line. Ok to make this easier, you could for example use a 90% credit line for clients whose credit score (or other certain criteria because companies sometimes don’t look for a certain score but more or less other items they deem necessary) is 800 or more and it goes down from there. . . so as if a new client you have has a 500 score you could issue them only a 10% financing line. Second, after you set your standards, go ahead and work out your governing contracts, what is your interest rate (check with other similar companies in the field)? What is your late fee and when are payments due. . how about penalties? Boy, that’s enough for now huh!
