What Is a HELOC?

Revolving Equity.
Borrow As You Need.

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) lets Etobicoke homeowners borrow against their property’s equity — like a credit card secured by your home, at mortgage-level rates.

Ontario homeowners with 20%+ equity can access up to 65% of their home’s appraised value — revolving, so you draw and repay as needed and only pay interest on what you use.
