There are many benefits of taking out a second mortgage or home equity line of credit. Here are several of those benefits:
Extended Repayment Terms – Home equity lines of credit can have incredibly flexible repayment terms. Some will not require payment in full until you sell your home. This isn't to say you should allow debt to languish, but the extended payment terms on loans like these are a huge benefit.
Payments on Interest Only – Home equity lines often only require a payment based on the interest you have accrued. This makes for much lower monthly payments.
No Closing Costs – Most home equity lines of credit are available with no closing costs and no money out of pocket for you. There are always some fees, but with the right lender, these fees will be built in to their commission structure.

My lender gave me a free HELOC when I refinanced in 2005. Not free of interest, just free of any other fees (no annual fee). And it is not really for additional money, just to reborrow principal that I have already paid off. They even gave me a checkbook, so if I ever need the money, I can write myself a check.
