Before you take out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), be sure to read the documents carefully to see what fees your lender can charge you.
Under some plans, lenders might charge you:
- An application fee – a fee when you apply for a HELOC
- Origination, appraisal, title, or other closing costs fees – fees when you open an account
- An inactivity fee – a fee for not using your HELOC
- An annual or membership fee – a fee each year you have the HELOC
- A cancellation fee – a fee for terminating the HELOC early, usually within the first two or three years
- A conversion fee – a fee for converting a portion of your balance to a fixed interest rate
