Equity Plus

A fixed-rate 2nd Trust Deed is a loan with one up-front payout. That loan is paid back monthly at a fixed interest rate for a set period of months, usually 15 years or less.

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) lets you draw funds as needed from the equity in your home over a set period of time, called the Draw Period. That money is then repaid during the Repayment Period, with a variable interest rate tied to the Prime Rate, as indicated below.

If you need to have cash up front but want the flexibility of a HELOC, look into getting both loans on the same residence.
