Considering a home improvement? Do you have a student on their way to college? Do you want to payoff those high interest rate credit cards? A home equity loan might be the answer. Consult with your own tax advisor, but in many cases, the interest expense on a loan secured by your personal residence is tax deductible. HomeStar Bank and Financial Services offers options to fit your needs:

1) Fixed Second - This loan is paid to you in one lump sum and you pay it back in equal monthly payments sufficient to repay the loan in full over the life of the loan. The monthly payment terms can be customized to fit your household budget.

2) Home Equity Line of Credit (PowerLine) - This is a line of credit that you draw against as you need it and can be used over and over again. What you receive is a maximum credit line and a checkbook. When you need funds, simply write a check.  Monthly payments are minimal. You only pay for what you use.

It is a legal requirement that a public notice be made of any mortgage or lien against real estate.  This is accomplished in Kankakee County and all counties in Illinois by recording a document with the county recorder.  One document is recorded for each transaction, whether that transaction is a loan of $5,000 for a new garage or $50 million for a shopping center.  HomeStar considers the number of customers served (documents) as the best indicator of market share rather than the size of the loan (dollars).

The charts below report this information for the current year to date and for the years 1991 through 2010.  You can see that HomeStar Bank and Financial Services is the home loan leader in the County and has held that position for many years.  Our #1 position comes from quality customer service day after day and the word of mouth referrals of our customers.
