Buying the Lot Next Door? Lori Did It With a HELOC
Lori, an Integra First member, originally moved to be closer to her kids. However, the new house she moved into was smaller than her previous one. When the lot next door went up for grabs, she came to Integra First to finance the property purchase, with the help of a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).
“Without Integra First, I wouldn’t have been able to do it,” Lori said. “I feel confident that if I ever had an emergent need - if I ever had something major come up - they would sit down and look down at the numbers and help me.”
Here’s Lori’s testimonial:
What did you end up buying?
“I bought a city lot with a garage on it - a city lot attached to my property.”
How did you decide on a HELOC?
“I wouldn’t have known. They talked about the different products and explained the different products to me. They let me have a voice in it, which was cool too.”
What did you like about the process?
“I would give that whole thing five stars. I walked in cold a couple of weeks ago. They put me in with Courtney. When I went back in, they put me with Jean, and she was just so easy and nice. They were really good and really worked with me.”
“Walking in cold like that - they were just like, ‘Have a seat; let’s talk about it.’ Being able to be seen right away and get a conversation was great.”
Any plans?
“I do have big plans. It’s nice to have a big garage. Now I can store things off-season or work on things. I plan to make that my little art studio and woodworking shop. That’s something I’ve always enjoyed.”
“It’s really nice to be able to pick up this extra lot.”
