A home equity loan is a loan secured by the equity in your house or apartment.

You can either take the proceeds as cash or use the loan as a line of credit to borrow money if and when you need it. 

A particularly advantageous type of loan for a person with increased expenes due to a medical condition is one which only requires payment of interest for a period of time, with an interest rate after that period of time locked in.

CAUTION:

• If you take out a home-equity loan and are unable to make the required repayments, you could lose your home. This could be particularly problematic if the loan has a variable interest rate and the interest rate rises to the extent that you cannot make monthly payments.
