What is 'HELOC Payment Shock'?

During the initial 10-year Draw Period, borrowers are only required to make interest-only payments. Once the draw period ends, the line transitions into a 20-year Repayment Period where borrowers must pay full principal and interest. This causes monthly payments to suddenly surge by 100% to 200%, catching unprepared homeowners off guard.

Are HELOC interest rates fixed or variable?

Most HELOCs carry variable interest rates pegged to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus a bank margin (e.g. Prime 8.00% + 0.50% = 8.50%). If the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, your monthly payment increases automatically.

Is HELOC interest tax-deductible in 2026?

Under current IRS regulations, HELOC interest is tax-deductible ONLY if the borrowed funds are used to 'buy, build, or substantially improve' the home that secures the loan. If the funds are used for personal debt consolidation, tuition, or vacations, the interest cannot be deducted on federal income taxes.
