Everyone who likes the idea of throwing away tax deductions for interest payments stayed to have their picture taken.
Everyone else is applying for a Home Equity Line of Credit at Lake City Bank. Tax reform is eliminating interest deductions on consumer loans. And there aren’t too many people who like that idea. But Lake City Bank has the answer... Home Equity Line of Credit. Not only does this line of credit let you access up to SIOO,OOO, but under the new tax laws, the interest you pay can be tax deductible. You can buy a car, take a vacation, make home improvements - anything you wish any time you wish - just by writing a check. There are no annual fees. And because you may be able to deduct your interest payments, having a Home Equity Line is more sensible than having an auto loan, a vacation loan, and a home improvement loan. Check with your tax counselor. Then fill out the coupon below and we ll send you your Home Equity Line of Credit application. Or call 267-6144. It may be the last application you ever need to fill out! ] Please send me a Home Equity Line of Credit application.. I Name —- — 1 I - I Address — | .
