One of the best way to pay off equity line of credit is to simply refinance your equity line of credit. When you refinance your equity line of credit, as you would refinance your mortgage, you are getting a new mortgage or new equity line of credit at, hopefully, a lower interest rate and in effect paying off your old equity line of credit.

It is no doubt that owning a home is the American Dream. Most people think that their homes are their assets, but what about their mortgages?

When most people finance their home purchase they would get a home equity line of credit as a 2nd mortgage, or people simply take out a home equity line of credit so they may consolidate their other “bad” debts.

Even though most home equity line of credits are financed for 30 years, there is a balloon payment that is due in 10 or 15 years. So when it comes near it, what is the best way to pay off equity line of credit?

Well, hopefully in 10 or 15 years you would have sold your house and moved on to another property, or if you still have the same property, then it is your best choice that you refinance your mortgage! Being a real estate investor I would also recommend that you NEVER SELL. Real estate has been time-tested to be an long term appreciating investment. If you are looking to move to another property, then look into keeping your original property and rent it out and have renters pay for the rest of your mortgage…
