Applying for a home equity loan online is a simple, time-saving option. You can apply for your loan, get approved and receive your funds without stepping inside a lender's office. Once you are approved, you will have the ability to use the equity you have built in your home in whatever way you choose.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find a lending company. You can choose to apply through a specific company, such as Bank of America or Citimortgage.com, or use an online lending network such as Lending Tree. Lending Tree gives you the freedom to choose which home equity loan works best for you.

  2. Step 2

    Review the home equity loan options. Each lending company offers a variety of rates and features. Select the "Home Equity Loan" link on their webpage to review the options.

  3. Step 3

    Apply for the home equity loan. Click on the "Apply" link on the lenders website. Enter all of the information required to begin the application process.

  4. Step 4

    Submit the application, and await approval. If you choose to use a specific lender, it will inform you of the usual time it will take to approve or deny your loan once the application is complete. If you're using a lending network, you will instantly be matched with possible lenders and often contacted with offers within 24 hours.
