It can be hard to make the next big financial move once you reach that midlife rhythm in life. Steady job — check. Short-term savings — check. Life insurance — check. Home ownership — check.

If you feel like you’ve already tallied the musts of a responsible adult, take a look at your largest asset — your home. Leverage the investment of your home and make your money work for you with a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or refinance through Figure.

While you can get the same services through almost any financial institution, Figure can reduce your wait time to mere minutes. A refinance or HELOC can be a game-changer once you’re focused on the financial long-term, and Figure makes both easy to figure out.

Refinance or HELOC? That is the question.

A refinance and a HELOC offer you 2 totally different avenues.

A mortgage refinance means you get a new loan to replace your original mortgage. Most people choose a refinance because a lower interest rate or better terms are available. This all adds up to you paying less over the life of your mortgage. Now all that’s left to do is decide what you’ll do with the extra cash!

Figure also has a cash-out refinance option. A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new home loan for more than you owe on your house. You get the difference in cash.

A HELOC is a line of credit secured by your home. This is a revolving line of credit, so as you pay the balance, the amount of available credit is replenished. A HELOC often has a lower interest rate than other types of credit, and the interest may be tax deductible.

Take a look at a HELOC with Figure to:

• Fund a college education

• Foot emergency expenses


• Set yourself up for additional long-term investments
