Home Equity Lines-of-Credit

If you’re a homeowner looking to increase your tax deductions, you should consider applying for a Vantage Credit Union Home Equity Line-of-Credit. When you use your home equity line-of-credit to pay for large-ticket items such as a new vehicle, a new appliance, a vacation, or home improvements, it’s smart because your interest payments are usually tax deductible,* unlike a conventional loan. This enables you to purchase the things you need most and reduce your taxable income at the same time.

A Vantage Credit Union Home Equity Line-of-Credit is an open-ended, revolving line-of-credit that offers multiple advances for a draw period of up to 10 years. You pay no annual fee for your line-of-credit.

With our Home Equity Plan II, you can borrow up to 90% of your home’s value (minus your first mortgage balance). There are no closing costs (except home appraisals, when required), which provides substantial up-front savings.
