The open end home equity loan
is also addressed as a home equity line of credit. The open end home
equity loan is a revolving credit loan. The borrowers are free to
choose when and how often they should borrow against the equity in
the property. Although the lender will set an initial limit to the
credit line based on the criterion similar to that of closed-end
equity loans.
Similarly, in open
end home equity loan, the borrower can borrow the entire 100% of the
evaluated value of the home, less any liens. These open-end home
loans are available for 30 years, generally at a variable interest
rate. The interest rate is based on the Prime rate plus a margin.
Due to this, the minimum monthly payment can be as low as only the
interest, which is owed.
