    Great shows. I’m trying to get a line of credit for the very first time in order to purchase a townhouse. The girl I am dealing with at the bank wants to lock in a term for a secure a rate. There are 2, 3, 4, or 5 year rates typically. What’s your advice? I don’t want to make a mistake. Thank you,
    Michael.

    Let's say if I use money from my line of credit and pay it back the exact same day will I have to pay interest

  • @zacharyharwell351
    @zacharyharwell351 Před rokem

    Not sure if this is still being monitored for comments or not but I'll ask anyway for those reading:
    Would a good use for a Line of Credit be 'buying' things you have the money to buy, but don't want to spend that money just yet?
    For example, say you have an LOC for about $2500 dollars. There's something you want/need and it costs $1000 dollars. You HAVE about $1500, so you COULD get it with straight cash (or a cash stand-in of course), but you just don't want to spend 2/3 of your current cash on this item, so you use your LOC and pay it off in chunks over time.
    Is this a valid way to use an LOC?

    • @opsisone
      @opsisone Před rokem

      The best use of a line of credit is to buy something that will create income of some sort or as a stop gap for a temporary need as you wait for a cash influx. It should.not be used for wants, though it can be. It is not a good use.

      @karlisoutar7027 Před 3 lety +14

      Yes! You only pay interest once you use the money! You could have it sit in your account for years and as long as you aren’t using it, you don’t pay any interest

      What if you only use $600 out of the $30,000 and you pay the $600 in full at the end of the month. Would you still have to pay interest on it the next month if the balance is back to $30,000?
