Whether you’re new to home improvement or you’ve been renovating your home off and on for years, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) can really help tie up the loose ends that invariably stray from the plan – or help you handle the increases in materials or construction costs along the way.
After gutting my historic home, I struggled for years trying to complete each project as I saved money in the interim – living in a veritable disaster zone in the meantime. Then one day, it dawned on me that I didn’t actually have to live with unfinished doorways and rough concrete floors because a Home Equity Line of Credit could give me all the money I needed to complete my house in the blink of an eye.
So I took a few minutes to complete the Chase HELOC application online and got approved for the
Home Equity Line of Credit I needed – and all at a great rate that was well below prime.
In almost no time, I was able to hire the contractors and put all the projects I had been dealing with on my own into the hands of real professionals. And because my Home Improvement Line of Credit came in the form of a platinum Visa credit card, paying for the things I needed – like the contractors, fixtures, paint, flooring, etc. – was easy.
After I exhausted my original HELOC funds, my main bathroom and backyard were still in disarray. So, I called my lender to review my Home Improvement Line of Credit and realized my home had gone up in value from all the recent renovations. So, in one fell swoop, I had the extra money I needed to finish my steam shower, my built-in barbecue grill and all the landscaping.
I know it sounds overly simplified, but getting a Home Improvement Line of Credit really was that easy. So if you’re tired of living with unfinished projects – like bare studs in your living room – or half of a garage overhaul, it’s time you applied for the money you need to get the job done.
