Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum HELOC I can get in Butte County, California?
Your maximum HELOC depends on your home value, current mortgage balance, and the lender's CLTV limit. Based on Butte County's median home value of $385,000 with a 60% existing mortgage, you could access up to $96,250 at 85% CLTV. Use the calculator above with your actual numbers for a precise estimate.
What is the difference between a HELOC and a home equity loan (HELOAN)?
A HELOC is a revolving credit line with variable rates — you draw funds as needed during the draw period (typically 10 years) and only pay interest on what you use. A HELOAN is a lump-sum loan with a fixed rate and fixed monthly payments. Both use your home as collateral. Mo Abdel offers both products through 200+ wholesale lenders.
How does CLTV affect my HELOC approval in Butte County?
CLTV (Combined Loan-to-Value) measures your total mortgage debt plus HELOC against your home's value. Most lenders cap CLTV at 80-90%. At Butte County's median value of $385,000, an 80% CLTV allows $308,000 in total debt, while 90% CLTV allows $346,500. Higher CLTV means more access but typically higher rates.
Are HELOC rates variable in Butte County?
Yes, most HELOCs carry variable rates tied to the Prime rate. As of 2026, HELOC rates in Butte County typically range from Prime minus 0.5% to Prime plus 2%, depending on your credit score, CLTV, and loan amount. Some lenders offer fixed-rate draw options.
