Let's first talk about the Home Equity Loan. A Hom Equity Loan is very similar to your traditional mortgage in ways that:
A.) You get all the money upfront at the loan closing.
B.) It is amortized anywhere between 5 to 30 years,
C.) It is closed-ended loan meaning that you can only pay back the loan and you typically have a fixed monthly payment and
D.) Home Equity Loans are typically borrowed as a 2nd position lien/loan.

I'm personally not a big fan of the Home Equity Loan as it restricts you from being able to access the equity all over again much like the HELOC and unlike the HELOC products, Home Equity Loans are usually a "one-off" loan product that's often used to spend money on education, home improvement, and personal spendings which can or can't be good.

In comparison, a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is a revolving line of credit. You can:
A.) Access the funds, pay it back, and re-use the principal portion of the HELOC. This is called being open-ended.
B.) The Draw period of the HELOC is NOT amortized which is useful when using our Debt Free Acceleration strategy to pay off your amortized loans.
C.) HELOCs use a different interest calculation versus the amortized interest calculation which can be used as an advantage when using our Debt Free Acceleration Strategy.
D.) HELOCs CAN be 1st or 2nd position lien on your property which offers some flexibility with the amount of equity you build for later investment purposes.

As you can see, I'm a bigger fan of the HELOC when USED PROPERLY and WISELY... A HELOC can be dangerous and destructive to your financial well-being WITHOUT the proper education on how to use such tool. Remember, no loan product is ever "bad". The user of the loan product makes it bad through their lack of financial literacy, awareness, and education.
