Make it happen with a home equity line of credit (HELOC)
Why a HELOC?
HELOCs are secured by the equity in your home, and typically have a lower interest rate than unsecured credit lines. Plus, you don't have to pay interest on funds that you are not using.
Home improvement benefit: If you use the credit line to improve your home, the interest you pay may be tax-deductible. Consult a tax professional.
