Why Work with Town Team?​
You’ve worked hard to build equity in your home, now let that equity work for you. Whether you’re planning a major renovation, consolidating high-interest debt, or preparing for life’s big milestones, Town Team Mortgage provides flexible second-mortgage options that let you keep your low first-mortgage rate intact.​
​
Two Ways to Access Your Equity
Not sure which option is right for you? Here is how we help you "Beat the Bank" with the two most popular equity products:
​
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
A HELOC works like a credit card secured by your home. You are approved for a specific limit and can draw exactly what you need, when you need it.
-
Best For: Ongoing projects, emergency funds, or variable expenses like tuition.
-
The Advantage: You only pay interest on the amount you actually use. As rates trend lower in 2026, a variable-rate HELOC allows you to benefit from falling interest costs automatically.
​​
Home Equity Loan (HELOAN)
A HELOAN provides a one-time lump sum of cash at a fixed interest rate.
-
Best For: Large, one-time expenses with a clear cost, such as a roof replacement or major debt consolidation.
-
The Advantage: You get the peace of mind of a predictable, "set-it-and-forget-it" monthly payment that will never change.
​​
The Town Team Advantage
-
Preserve Your Low First-Mortgage Rate: If you have a 3% or 4% rate on your primary mortgage, you don't want to lose it. Our equity products sit "behind" your current loan, allowing you to access cash without touching your primary rate.
-
Up to 95% LTV Options: While big banks often cap your borrowing at 80% of your home's value, Town Team's products allow qualified borrowers to access up to 95% of their equity.
​​
What Can You Do With Your Equity?
-
Home Improvements: Add value to your property with a kitchen remodel or new deck.
-
Debt Consolidation: Pay off high-interest credit cards (often 20%+) with a much lower-interest equity loan.
-
Major Life Events: Fund weddings, dream vacations, or college tuition.
-
Financial Safety Net: Keep a HELOC open for "just in case" peace of mind.
