If the answer is yes a California home equity line of credit (HELOC) can be useful.

A California HELOC is a form of revolving credit secured by the equity in your home.
This is an open ended loan that can be paid down or charged up for the term of the
loan, much like a credit card. The interest rate fluctuates (typically monthly).

With a California home equity loan the homeowner is approved for a specific amount
of credit - the maximum amount that may be borrowed at any one time under the plan.
In determining the credit limit, income, debts, credit history and other financial
obligations will be reviewed.

An appraisal will be required on home to determine the home\'s market value. The
credit limit will be based on a percentage of the home\'s appraised value, which is
then subtracted from the balance owed on the existing mortgage.

When taking a California home equity loan, the home owner pays for many of the same
expenses as when the financing of the original mortgage, such as an application fee,
title search, appraisal, attorneys\' fees, and points (a percentage of the amount
borrowed).

Most California home equity loans have a fixed period (5, 10, even 20 years) during
which the home owner can borrow money. Typically, special checks or a credit card is
issued to draw on home equite line. Minimum payments are required each month -
usually the interest that accrued during the draw period. However, the interest paid
is usually tax deductible.

At the end of the \"draw period,\" the home owner is required to pay off the
California home equity loan, making monthly payments on the principal and interest.
