HELOC Calculator
Borrowers often have difficulty comparing the costs of our HELOC program vs. refinancing their existing 1st loan. In most cases, borrowers will actually save money getting a higher interest rate 2nd HELOC instead of refinancing. The biggest savings comes from the interest they will save because their 1st mortgage will not be refinanced into a higher interest rate loan. Instead, their first mortgage stays at their current low interest rate, and they only pay a higher rate on a much smaller, second loan.

The following prequal/calculator will help you calculate and demonstrate the potential savings to your clients. You may also send your borrowers to www.ResCapInfo.com for more information about our HELOC and an example that demonstrates the savings.

If the savings are not significant, then our HELOC program may not be suitable for your borrower.
