Is Having To Pay The Interest.
Because the interest is
all you have to pay until
a home equity loan from
NCNB reaches maturity
LineOne' Equity is a
revolving line of credit
based on the equity in a
home. And it's one of the
few consumer loans for
which interest deductions
may still be allowable
under the new tax law But
it's different from most other
home equity loans in that it
allows you to pay as little or
as much of the principal each month as
you choose.\bu even have the option
of only paying the interest each month.
And thats a big plus, which can be
seen from the chart shown below.
include: 1) No origination fees; 2) A
fast closing of usually 10 to 15 business
days after you apply; 3) No fees for
unused credit; and 4) A credit line of up
to $100,000 or more, or up to 100% of
