Best Home Equity Line of Credit in Ohio

What are the terms of a HELOC?

A Home Equity Line of Credit is a 10 year adjustable rate loan with a draw period and a repayment period.

The draw period is 10 years where you will have ongoing access to available funds. During the draw period, you can borrow against your home's equity. Your minimum payment is the interest on what you have drawn against your line of credit. Principle paid becomes available credit again.

After the draw period, you can pay off your loan or refinance it into a new HELOC.

How much can I borrow?

You can typically borrow up to 90% of the value of your home, minus what you currently owe.

Are there closing costs or annual fees?

There are typically low or no closing costs associated with a HELOC at Osgood Bank. Your lender will discuss these with you during your application process.

There is a $50.00 annual fee. We waive this for your first year. 

What happens when my HELOC balance is zero?

Your line of credit will remain open and available for 10 years or unless you decide to close it.
