Stand-alone HELOC vs. readvanceable mortgage
A stand-alone HELOC is a separate revolving line secured by your Kamloops home — borrow, repay, re-borrow, interest-only on what's drawn. A readvanceable mortgage bundles a mortgage and a HELOC under one collateral charge, and the credit limit grows automatically as you pay down mortgage principal — the engine behind the Smith Manoeuvre and most investor strategies. Readvanceable is more powerful but registers as a collateral charge, which complicates switching lenders later. We map which structure fits how you actually plan to use the equity.
