Re: HELOC for home improvement?

One benefit the interest is tax deductible. Another benefit you are only borrowing exactly how much you need.
You are borrowing against the equity in your home.
They approve you upto a certain amount and then you get a checkbook for the line.
Any time you use the checkbook you are borrowing from the line. You make monthly payments which most comprise of interest so it is best to pay more than the minimum payments.
