A home equity line of credit (HELOC) gives you flexible access to cash for handling life’s expenses – using the equity you’ve built in your home. Whether you're managing emergencies or planning ahead, a HELOC offers access to funds when you need them – without the high interest of credit cards or personal loans.
It works like a revolving line of credit, with your home’s equity helping determine your limit. You can borrow over a 10-year period and take up to 20 years to repay what you use.
Do you have big dreams for yourself or your family? A HELOC can help you use the equity in your home to fund those goals. Then, you have a revolving line of credit to fund things like family vacations, home renovations and more! Just fill out the form below to find out how much you can potentially qualify for.

What is the minimum loan amount I can apply for?
The minimum application amount for a HELOC is $10,000.
What is the maximum loan amount I can apply for?
You could be approved for a loan that brings your combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio to no more than 80%. The CLTV ratio is the ratio of all secured loans on a property to the value of a property; you can calculate it by dividing the total of secured loans by the value of the property. For example, if your mortgage balance is $150,000, you have a $30,000 HELOC and your home is worth $250,000, your CLTV ratio would be 72%. The HELOC amount that would bring the CLTV ratio to 80% in this example is $50,000.
What can I use my home equity line of credit for?
It may be used when and where you want. For instance, you could renovate your home or yard, cover unexpected expenses or simply make purchases at your discretion.
What is auto pay?
Auto pay is an optional, automatic loan payment withdrawn from your Desert Financial checking account on the same day each month.

APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Promotional APR applies only to new Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) with a minimum loan amount of $10,000, and a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) of 80%. Members who have closed an existing Desert Financial HELOC in the last 12 months are not eligible to receive the promotional APR on a new HELOC on that same property. $50 annual fee applies; waived for members at the Rewards+ level of the Relationship Rewards program. Visit DesertFinancial.com/Terms for full Relationship Rewards program details. Closing costs of $200 - $750 may apply. Property insurance is required and is not included in closing costs. Promotional APR is fixed for initial 12 months of the term, thereafter, the APR will convert to a variable rate plan. Subsequent APR may vary based on the index rate, plus a margin. Index rate is based on the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. On May 5, 2025, that index was 7.50%; resulting APR with a 0.50% margin is 8.00%. APR will never exceed 24.00%. "As low as" rate assumes excellent borrower credit history and a loan amount of $75,000 or more.
