Часто задаваемые вопросы

What is the minimum credit score for a HELOC in 2026?

Most lenders require 620-680 FICO. 620 works with strong equity; 680+ unlocks better rates. Scores below 620 rarely qualify without 30%+ equity.

Can I get a HELOC with a 650 credit score?

Yes, if DTI is under 43% and equity 20%+. Expect higher rates (8.8-9.5%). Boost utilization first for a quick 20-30 point gain.

What's the difference in credit requirements for HELOC vs. home equity loan?

HELOCs often need 620-680 due to variable risk; home equity loans start at 620 with fixed terms. HELOCs demand stronger profiles overall.

How much home equity do I need for HELOC approval?

15-20% minimum, with 85% CLTV cap. On a $500K home with $300K mortgage, draw up to $25K more safely.

How can I improve my credit score fast for HELOC approval?

Pay utilization below 10% (+20-40 points instantly), dispute errors (+10-30), and pay on time. Expect 50+ points in 30-60 days.

Do HELOC rates depend on my credit score?

Absolutely, 700+ gets 7.9-8.2%; 620-679 pays 8.8-9.5%. A 100-point gap adds $200+/month on $50K draws.
