Home equity loan FAQS
Will this impact my existing mortgage?
No. Our home equity loan does not touch your first mortgage rate or term.
What terms are offered for home equity loans?
We offer flexible 10, 15, 20, and 30-year terms. All terms have a 5-year draw period. You'll get the full approved loan amount in your initial draw. Then, for the remainder of the draw period, you can pay your balance down and borrow more, up to your loan limit, as often as you like.
What is a line of credit?
A line of credit (“LOC”) is a flexible loan that you can tap into when needed. You can borrow money up to a predefined amount, pay it back, and borrow funds again—up to that amount—at any time during your draw period.
LOCs can be either unsecured (like a credit card) or secured by some form of collateral (like property). Secured LOCs typically come with a higher credit limit and lower interest rates—both major benefits.
What is a home equity line of credit (HELOC)?
The home equity loan that we offer is a unique fixed-rate home equity line of credit—also known as a HELOC. It’s the most common type of secured line of credit for consumers. The money you borrow is secured by your home. By owning a home, you give lenders a sense that you’re responsible, allowing them to loan greater amounts at lower rates.
What are people saying about Achieve Home Equity Loans on Reddit?

"I looked into Achieve HELOC while researching home equity options. One thing I noticed is that they offer different loan lengths - 10, 20, or 30 years—which seemed helpful if you’re looking for flexibility in how long you want to pay it off..."
