If you need financing to make repairs or upgrades to your home or to use on other expenses, one flexible option worth considering is a home equity loan.

With this lending product, you can get the funding you need in a form which works for you.

What are Home Equity Loans?

A home equity loan is classified as a second mortgage. When you take out a home equity loan, you are borrowing against your home equity, which acts as collateral.

Home equity loans coming two varieties.

Lump sum home equity loans:

When you opt for this type of home equity loan, you receive the full amount that you are borrowing all at once. The loan is due back over the term you agree on. Every month, you make a payment in a fixed amount.

Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs):

This option works much like any other line of credit. Based on your qualifications, you will be approved up to a certain limit. You get to choose how much to borrow, and you only pay interest on that.

Each type of home equity loan has advantages and disadvantages. You can learn more about these during your consultation so that you can choose the type of home equity loan which is right for you.

Benefits of a Home Equity Loan in Ohio

Here are a few of the reasons why first time and repeat homebuyers choose FHA loans:

You have control over how you use the funds you receive. Many borrowers use home equity loans to finance upgrades or repairs to their homes. You can use a home equity loan for anything you want, however, even if it has nothing to do with your home.

Home equity loans are flexible, and you get to pick how you want your funds disbursed.

Interest rates on home equity loans tend to be affordable, especially in comparison to credit card interest rates.

If you have built up substantial equity, you may be able to qualify to borrow a hefty sum.

Note that the closing costs of a home equity loan to me to be accounted for. You will need to figure out whether you can afford them, and whether the benefits of the loan outweigh its costs.

Do You Qualify for an Ohio Home Equity
Loan?

To be approved for a home equity loan, you will need to meet these requirements:

Your credit score should be around 620 at a minimum. The higher your score is, the more affordable your loan will be.

Your debt-to-income ratio is expected to be 43% at the maximum in most cases, though there may be some flexibility. The lower your debt-to-income ratio is, the more bargaining power you will have.

Lenders will consider your employment history.

How much equity you own your home is another major factor for approval. At a minimum, you should own 15-20% equity. The more equity you have, the more money you can be approved to borrow.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Great experience.
Over the past few months, Ms. Rao Shen has helped us refinance with great care and dedication. Her service has been highly professional and very efficient. We are truly grateful to her.
Just closed my fourth home with James and his team. I cannot tell you how much confidence I put in him to get us the best rate and to get things over the finish line on time. This one had some difficulty, some delays due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, and last minute chaos, without him, it would not have closed on time. We highly recommend with confidence.
Shen Rao goes above and beyond for her clients and has helped me in the process of successfully securing my first condo. As a first time home buyer, I am always nervous and she was attentive and open to any questions I had. She took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that made everything feel manageable and clear, which really helped ease my anxiety. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine care made a stressful experience feel smooth and even exciting. I always felt like I was in good hands, and it was clear that she truly had my best interests at heart. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated real estate professional.
I had an excellent experience working with Rao Shen as my loan officer. My situation was not straightforward, and I had already faced difficulties getting approved by other banks. Rao went above and beyond to guide me through the process, stayed patient with every detail, and ultimately helped me secure the loan when it felt nearly impossible. What really stood out was her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine willingness to help. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. Because of my positive experience, I’ve also recommended Rao to several friends, and she has successfully helped them obtain their loans as well. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and reliable in this field. I highly recommend Rao Shen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable loan officer.

From start to finish, he keeps everything organized, communicates clearly, and makes what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

I cannot recommend Liberty Capital Services more!! And here's why... I learned about Jarrod through my brother who also used him, and calling Jarrod was the best thing I could have done. He helped me through the process of obtaining my first home loan, and then again out of the blue with a refinance a few years down the road when life got a little messy (as it often does!). Since then, I've referred so many friends and others to him, because he makes the process SO simple! On top of that, he's very easy to talk to and truly feels like talking to a close friend (who swears a lot and tells you like it is haha). You absolutely cannot go wrong contacting him for your loan needs!! THANK YOU ENDLESSLY, JARROD. I could not have done any of this without you!
Jarod is super helpful if u ever have the chance to go through him i definitely recommend him.
James and Laura were awesome to work with. They made our first time buying a home a breeze and helped us feel at easy throughout the process. No question was too small. They are very friendly and I would recommend to anyone looking for competitive rates and great customer service. Thank you Liberty Capital!
Look no further for your mortgage needs, seriously! You can do the traditional way and look for three lenders, but you'd be wasting your time. Jason Krasnow at Liberty Capital is bar none. First, he educated me on the pre-qualification process. Second, he was communicative throughout the whole process. Third, and most importantly, he made sure I was able to close on my property. Jason made the mortgage process easy and hassle free. A big plus for someone new to the home buying process. 10/10 would recommend Jason to anyone, new or seasoned, in the real estate world.
Amazing financial services. Thought this process would be harder but James made everything go by so smoothly and easy! Best experience and will recommend to everyone !
Our realtor recommended James and I’m so thankful. We had a unique situation. James and his team were responsive, helpful, and got us what we needed!
Jason and Laura are absolutely amazing. We have already closed several deals with them. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Jason and his team are absolutely fabulous to work with!!! This is our second home loan (2 different houses) with him and we will keep doing business with them! Jason explains everything, always available for questions, and a super smooth process!! You can’t go wrong with this team!!! We have also done a refinance with Jason as well! Top notch!
Jason and Laura are excellent to work with. Extremely fast, diligent, transparent, honest and very communicative. I couldn’t imagine receiving a better experience anywhere else. They also work with great partners at title and their partnerships with lenders are clearly just as exemplary.
James McBain was wonderful with purchasing my first home and all of the steps in between. Couldn’t recommend him more!
I had the pleasure of working with James and his team as a first time home buyer. He talked me through every step of the process from start to finish and was always willing to hop on a call and answer my many many questions. Incredibly excellent service which was only second to the interest rate that they were able to provide to me. I cannot recommend James enough.
Gracias a Maria y Griselda por su ayuda en este proceso hicieron que todo fuera rápido y entendible
