What is a HELOC?
Unlike a standard mortgage where you receive a lump sum, a Home Equity Line of Credit works like a secured credit card.
-
Re-advanceable Credit: As you pay down the balance, you can borrow the funds again without reapplying.
-
Interest-Only Payments: Maximizing cash flow flexibility by only paying interest on the amount you actually use.
-
Prime-Based Rates: Our HELOC rates are tied to the Prime Rate, ensuring you pay less than unsecured lending options.
Smart Ways to Use Your Equity

Home Renovations
Increase your property value with a new kitchen, basement suite, or landscaping using low-interest equity.

Debt Consolidation
Swap 20% credit card debt for a lower HELOC rate. Consolidate bills into one manageable monthly payment.

Investment Strategy
Savvy investors use their HELOC to fund down payments on rental properties or maximize RRSP contributions (tax-deductible interest).
HELOC vs. Mortgage Refinance
Which is Better?
HELOC
Best for: Ongoing access to funds, variable spending needs, and payment flexibility.
Rate Type: Usually Variable (Prime + X%).
Mortgage Refinance
Best for: One-time lump sum requirements (e.g., buying a second home) where you prefer a stable, Fixed Rate.
