What makes our HELOC different
Two products, not one
A revolving HELOC line of credit, or a fixed-rate lump-sum Home Equity Loan (HELOAN)- whichever fits your situation.
No tax returns required
Self-employed and business owners can qualify using bank statements instead of tax returns - no write-offs working against you.
Investment properties eligible
Tap equity in a rental or investment property, not just your primary residence - something most lenders won't touch.
No appraisal, most cases
Many of our HELOC and HELOAN files close without a full appraisal - faster, cheaper, less hassle.

From application to funding
Tell us your situation
W-2, self-employed, or investment property - we match you to the right HELOC or HELOAN program.
We estimate your equity
A quick review of your home's value and existing mortgage balance tells us what's available.
Streamlined underwriting

Access your funds
Draw from your line of credit as needed, or receive your Home Equity Loan as a lump sum.
Skip the wait, not the equity.
A full appraisal can add weeks and hundreds of dollars to a HELOC or Home Equity Loan. In most cases, we're able to close using an automated or desktop valuation instead - no appraiser walking through your home, no scheduling delays. It's one more way we get you access to your equity faster than a typical bank.
HELOC and Home Equity Loan questions, answered
What's the difference between a HELOC and a Home Equity Loan?+
A HELOC is a revolving line of credit - you draw what you need, when you need it, similar to a credit card secured by your home. A Home Equity Loan (HELOAN) gives you a fixed lump sum upfront with a fixed rate and fixed monthly payment. Which one fits depends on whether you need ongoing flexible access or a single, known amount.
Can I get a HELOC if I'm self-employed with no tax returns?+
Yes. We offer bank-statement HELOC and HELOAN programs built specifically for self-employed borrowers and business owners, using 12-24 months of bank statements instead of tax returns - so write-offs that lower your reported income don't work against your approval.
Can I get a HELOC on an investment property?+
Yes. Unlike many lenders that only offer HELOCs on primary residences, we offer HELOC and HELOAN options on investment and rental properties as well.
Do I need an appraisal for a HELOC?+
In most cases, no. We're often able to use an automated or desktop valuation instead of a full in-person appraisal, which speeds up the process and reduces cost. Your loan officer will confirm what's needed for your specific property and loan amount.
