A homestead property is generally considered your primary residence in Texas. A non-homestead property is typically a second/vacation home, or a rental/investment property.  The money can be used for a variety of purposes, such as refinancing, home improvements, debt consolidation 1 , vacations, and more.   Why a home equity loan may be right for you: You may be able to deduct your interest expense on your taxes, just like your mortgage 2 The closing cost is typically lower than refinancing your first mortgage You may be able to borrow against the available equity in your home, up to 80% of the value of your homestead property 3 You may be able to borrow up to 100% of the available equity in your non-homestead property Features of a Wachovia home equity loan include: Up to 30-year terms 4 $8,000 minimum loan amount Up to $750,000 for loan requests to access equity Up to $250,000 for purchase requests The links below can also help you make a more informed decision and show you how the application process works. Texas Home Equity Comparison Chart How to Use the Equity in Your Home Understanding the Application Process Email This Page Printer Friendly Version 1 While consolidation may decrease your overall monthly payment obligations, refinancing pre-existing debt with a home equity loan/line will require you to give Wachovia a security interest in your home and may increase the total number of monthly debt payments, as well as the aggregate amount paid by a borrower over the term of the mortgage loan. Debt consolidation restrictions may apply. 2 Consult your tax advisor concerning interest deductibility. 3 Line amounts are based upon collateral value, creditworthiness and state maximum loan to value limitations. In accordance with state law, the maximum combined loan to value may not exceed 80% of the fair market value of your homestead property. 4 For example, repayment of a 30 year home equity loan would consist of 360 monthly payments of $6.42/$1,000 borrowed at 6.59% APR. The disclosed APR assumes that the borrower will pay 1% at the time of origination. The maximum loan amount for this offer is $750,000. If you pay off your loan early, there may be a prepayment penalty. You will be responsible for the cost of any mortgage recording or other taxes where applicable. Term of up to 360 months available on loan amounts greater than $35,000. Other rates and terms available. All loans and lines of credit are subject to credit approval, verification, and collateral evaluation. Initial decision is subject to your meeting specific underwriting requirements and final approval will be based upon your satisfying those requirements.

Tax relief is granted on the amount of the interest paid, at the standard rate subject to the overall limits as set out in Leaflet IT60 (Home Loan Interest Relief - 2000/2001 onwards) . Special provisions apply for "First Time Buyers". The period for which relief is available is 7 years (this does not apply to mortgages taken out before 6 April 1998). » Back to Top 9. How can I claim the relief? From 1 January 2002, tax relief for home mortgage interest is no longer given through the tax system but is instead granted at source. This means that your mortgage lender gives you the benefit of the tax relief element on the mortgage interest on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners. Your mortgage repayment is reduced by the amount of the tax relief. Your lender in turn claims this amount from Revenue. Any future adjustments in the tax relief (for example, arising from changes in interest rates) will be made automatically by the lender on behalf of Revenue. It is not be necessary to claim mortgage interest relief in the annual tax return, and it no longer appears on your Notice of Tax Credits. Borrowers who are taking out new mortgages must complete a TRS1 form. Your lender will supply you with a TRS1 form. Forms can also be obtained from the TRS Section, Collector-Generals, Sarsfield House, Francis Street, Limerick. Further details are available on the Leaflet TRS (Mortgage Interest Tax Relief at Source) . » Back to Top 10. If I sell my house will I have to pay Capital Gains Tax? No. If the house (including grounds of up to one acre) has been occupied as your sole or main residence throughout your period of ownership you will be exempt from capital gains tax on the sale. » Back to Top 11. What happens if I had let part of the house or used part of the house for business purposes? Full exemption may not be due if only part of the house has been used as your residence. In this case an apportionment will be made to arrive at the exempt portion of the total gain and you will have to pay capital gains tax on the balance. » Back to Top 12. What happens if my property has "development value"? Where your property has development value i.e. if it is sold for a price higher than its normal current use value then the relief from capital gains tax as outlined above is confined to what it would be if the property did not have development value. » Back to Top
