What’s a home equity loan and how does it work?

A home equity loan, also known as a second mortgage, since it’s secured by the property, enables homeowners to borrow money by leveraging the equity in their home. The loan amount is dispersed in one lump sum and paid back in monthly installments. Both the interest rate and monthly payments are fixed, ensuring a predictable repayment schedule.
