Your LTV is the relationship between the current outstanding balance of your loan(s) and the collateral’s value. This relationship helps us decide how much you can borrow. This can be applied to any loan type that is tied to a piece of collateral.
Use this formula to get an idea of your LTV: (A + B)/C = LTV
A = The amount of money you need B = The outstanding balance of all loans applied to the collateral C = Your home’s estimated value
The Loan to Value (LTV) is the outstanding loan amount divided by the appraised property value or purchase price.
For a home: Use our Home Value Checker to find an estimated value of the property. Just type in your address.
For an Auto: Go to J.D. Power Values to find values based on condition of vehicles.

A Home Equity Line of Credit is a form of revolving credit, like a credit card, in which your home serves as collateral. And since your home is most likely your largest asset, why not put it to work for you and take advantage of all the benefits a Credit Union of Denver HELOC offers! Access to your money is easy and our Equity loans are flexible enough to fit your specific needs for home improvements, bill consolidation, college tuition, a family vacation or whatever you can dream up!
Much like a credit card that allows you to borrow against your spending limit as often as needed, a HELOC gives you the flexibility to borrow against your home’s equity.
For example, say you have a home worth $400,000 with a balance of $250,000 on your first mortgage and you want to access up to 80% of your home’s value (based on Combined Loan To Value – CLTV) stats. You can establish a HELOC with up to a $70,000 limit:
Use our Home Value Checker to see what your home may be worth.
A HELOC has two phases. First is the draw period, followed by the repayment period.
During the draw period, you can borrow from the credit line by card. The length of the draw period and the repayment period for Credit Union of Denver are 10 years each.
Payments on a HELOC are not much different than a credit card. Minimum monthly payments are required. The re-payment terms are at least a 1% payment on the outstanding balance. This is true for the entire 20 year term. During the repayment period, or last 10 years of the HELOC, you can no longer borrow against the credit line. Instead, you pay it back in monthly installments that include principal and interest. If you don’t pay off the total due in that last 10 years, it will end up having a balloon payment for the balance owed.
After you qualify for a certain amount, use your HELOC for things like: home improvements, education, debt consolidation, medical bills, or a much needed vacation. The choice is yours!
Simply use your issued Credit Union of Denver MasterCard® with your HELOC to access your equity funds.
For any tax implications, please consult your tax advisor.
