Home equity

Use your equity. Keep your rate.

HELOC, fixed-rate HELOAN, and standalone second mortgages — without disturbing the low rate on your first lien.

If you locked in a great first-mortgage rate, refinancing to pull cash out is usually the wrong move today. A second lien lets you tap equity for renovations, debt consolidation, tuition, or investment — while your first mortgage stays exactly where it is.

  • Lines and loans from $25,000 to $500,000 (higher case-by-case).
  • Up to 90% combined loan-to-value (CLTV).
  • Owner-occupied, second home, and investment property eligible.
  • Interest-only HELOC draw periods available.
  • Fast-track underwriting — many closings inside 2–3 weeks.
  • Use proceeds for renovations, debt payoff, tuition, or a down payment on the next property.
HELOC

Revolving line of credit — draw what you need, when you need it.

Fixed-Rate HELOAN

Lump-sum second mortgage with a fixed rate and predictable payment.

Adjustable-Rate HELOAN

Lump-sum second lien with a lower start rate that adjusts over time.

Standalone 2nd

Piggyback or stand-alone second liens up to 90% CLTV.

Common questions

Good to know

HELOC vs. HELOAN — which should I pick?

A HELOC is a revolving line you draw from over time at a variable rate. A HELOAN is a one-time lump sum at a fixed rate. We'll model both against your goals.

Will this affect my first-mortgage rate?

No. A second lien sits behind your first — your existing rate and term don't change.

How much equity do I need?

Most programs go up to 90% CLTV, so if your first mortgage is at 70% LTV you can typically access another 20% of your home's value.
