The Home Improvement Toolbox

It’s heating up, and that means it’s time for home and yard projects!

Creating a new (or improved) space takes some creativity, planning, and yes, a way to pay for it all! You have a lot of options for funding your next big home project.

CREDIT CARDS

A credit card is an obvious choice for quick purchases that you can make now, pay for later! Credit cards offer great flexibility, but make sure you factor in the interest rate before you fund a project with a credit card. Also, if you need to fund a large project, your credit card limit may not be enough.

Best For:

  • Smaller projects
  • Borrowing only what you need, when you need it
  • Paying interest only on what you need

Check out the Independence Visa Credit Card from Kirtland FCU. No annual fees, no balance transfer fees, and a low interest rate, cash back or rewards make this card a great option.

HOME EQUITY

As you pay down your mortgage, you gain equity—value you own that you can borrow against in the form of a home equity loan or line-of-credit. Home equity options are great for larger projects that require a higher amount than you can get with a credit card, and may come with a lower interest rate.

Best For:

  • Larger projects
  • Those who own their own home and have sufficient equity
  • Those who want the option of fixed payments (home equity loans) or revolving credit (home equity line-of-credit)
