Let La Loma assist you in obtaining an affordable home equity line of credit. With a home equity line of credit, you have the flexibility to make large purchases – such as a new car or truck, recreational vehicle, your dream vacation, or home improvements! It could also be your answer to debt consolidation or college expenses!! The home equity line of credit is an open-ended, variable* rate loan, secured by a deed of trust against your real property. La Loma offers this program on your primary residence or second home (no rental properties or manufactured homes). The amount of your credit line will depend on the amount of equity you have in your home. It makes good financial sense to use your home as collateral since the interest on your home equity loan may be tax deductible (you should consult with a tax advisor for your particular situation). La Loma will only take position as first or second mortgage lien holder.
