What’s the difference between HELOC and a home equity loan?

One is a loan and the other is a line of credit. If that still doesn’t clear it up … think like a car loan, you borrow all the money up front and pay it back in set installments. The line of credit works more like a credit card. There is no balance until you use it for something. Then you can pay it off and not have a balance and use it again when you need it.

Heloc is credit card. You draw as much as you want and pay it back. Home equity loan is a lump sum amount like other loans.i.e car loan or mortgage. Both use the house as collateral.

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
