Can I use a HELOC to pay off credit cards?

HELOC proceeds may be used for debt consolidation when the transaction and borrower qualify, but moving unsecured debt onto your home changes the risk. Compare payment, total interest, term, closing costs, variable-rate exposure, and spending habits before deciding. Your home secures the new debt.

What else should I know?

A lower monthly payment does not automatically mean lower lifetime cost. Use verified figures and retain an emergency plan.

First Equity provides calm, specific guidance based on verified current requirements. Final approval depends on a complete application and underwriting.
