Use my savings or a home equity line to fix my house?
February 14th, 2009 | by admin |johnny asked:
I need to have work done to the foundation of my house. Should i use my savings to pay to have this done, or should i use my home equity line of credit to do it? If i use the line of credit i will have to pay up to 10% interest on the loan, whereas if i use my savings i wont have to pay any interest and i can just make the payments back to myself. Plus it gives me the freedom to “skip” a payment to myself should i need the money for something else, whereas i can’t skip a payment back to the bank.
If i were to use my savings, it would wipe it out.
