Home Value: $375,000 80% TX Max

HELOC vs. Home Equity Loan in Dallas

Two smart ways to access your Dallas home’s equity — each with distinct advantages depending on your goals.

💳
Flexible Credit Line

HELOC

A revolving line of credit secured by your Dallas home. Borrow what you need, when you need it — pay interest only on what you use.

  • Draw funds as needed (10-year draw period)
  • Variable rates (often lower initially)
  • Pay interest only on amount borrowed
  • Reuse credit as you pay it down
💡 Best For: Ongoing expenses, Dallas home improvements over time, emergency fund, or when you’re unsure of the exact amount needed.
💰
Lump Sum Payment

Home Equity Loan

A second mortgage with a fixed rate and term. Receive your funds in one lump sum with predictable monthly payments.

  • One-time lump sum disbursement
  • Fixed interest rate for life of loan
  • Predictable monthly payments
  • Know exact payoff date from day one
💡 Best For: Large one-time expenses, debt consolidation, major Dallas renovation with known costs, or when you want payment predictability.

“I wanted flexibility for a kitchen and bathroom remodel that might grow in scope. Adam recommended a HELOC so I could draw funds as needed. The process was smooth, and having that credit line available gave me peace of mind throughout the entire renovation.”
Christine L.

HELOC • Home Renovation
★★★★★
“After 20 years in our Lakewood home, we had significant equity but didn’t know the best way to access it. Adam explained the Texas rules clearly, shopped multiple lenders for us, and found a rate that beat our credit union’s offer. Used the funds as a down payment on a rental property.”

❓ FAQ

Dallas Home Equity & HELOC Questions Answered

Common questions from Dallas homeowners about equity loans, HELOCs, and Texas-specific rules.

Texas law limits total borrowing (first mortgage plus equity loan) to 80% of your home’s appraised value. With Dallas’s median home value around $375,000, many homeowners have significant equity available. For example, if your Dallas home is worth $450,000 and you owe $250,000, you could potentially access up to $70,000 in equity. Contact Adam Bartling for a free equity assessment — no upfront credit check.
A HELOC is a revolving credit line with variable rates — you draw funds as needed during a 10-year draw period and only pay interest on what you use. A home equity loan provides a lump sum with a fixed rate and predictable monthly payments. Both are subject to Texas’s 80% LTV cap and 12-day waiting period. Adam Bartling will help you determine which option best fits your situation and goals.
Texas law requires a minimum 12-day waiting period from application to closing. Most HELOCs in Dallas close within 21 to 30 days. Adam Bartling & Team work to close as quickly as legally allowed, and our dedicated processors keep the timeline on track with consistent communication.
While 700+ scores get the best rates, options are available for credit scores as low as 620. Adam Bartling offers a no-upfront-credit-check consultation to evaluate your options before pulling credit. This education-first approach means you understand your full picture before committing.
Yes — Texas has some of the strongest homestead protections in the country under Article XVI, Section 50 of the Texas Constitution. Key rules include: 80% maximum loan-to-value, 12-day minimum waiting period from application, only one home equity loan per year on your homestead, and a 3-day right of rescission before closing. These rules protect Dallas homeowners, but they require an experienced lender who understands Texas equity law.
You can use equity from your primary Dallas residence to fund a down payment on investment property. Many Dallas homeowners tap their equity to purchase rental homes in high-demand neighborhoods like Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum, Oak Cliff, or East Dallas. However, the equity loan itself must be secured by your primary homestead under Texas law. Adam Bartling can also pair this with a DSCR investor loan for maximum flexibility.
