Home Equity Loan (HELOAN)

A fixed-rate loan against your equity, paid out in one lump sum.

A Home Equity Loan (HELOAN) gives you a set amount upfront with a fixed rate and fixed monthly payment - a second mortgage that sits behind your existing loan. Available for self-employed borrowers without tax returns, and on investment properties too.

Why Coltrain

What makes our Home Equity Loan different

1

Fixed rate, fixed payment

One predictable monthly payment for the life of the loan - no surprises if rates move after you close.

2

No tax returns required

Self-employed and business owners can qualify using bank statements instead of tax returns - no write-offs working against you.

3

Investment properties eligible

Tap equity in a rental or investment property, not just your primary residence - something most lenders won't touch.

4

No appraisal, most cases

Many of our Home Equity Loan files close without a full appraisal - faster, cheaper, less hassle.

Want a revolving line instead of a lump sum? Compare it to a HELOC.

Common Uses

Who a Home Equity Loan is right for

How It Works

From application to funding

1

Tell us your situation

W-2, self-employed, or investment property - we confirm your equity and documentation fit our Home Equity Loan program.

2

We estimate your equity

A quick review of your home's value and existing mortgage balance tells us what's available.

3

Streamlined underwriting

Bank statements instead of tax returns for self-employed borrowers, and often no appraisal needed.

4

Get funded

Your Home Equity Loan closes and funds arrive as a single lump sum.

No Appraisal, Most Cases

Skip the wait, not the equity.

A full appraisal can add weeks and hundreds of dollars to a 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.

“Self-employed, investment property, no appraisal - these are the files other lenders turn away. They're exactly what we specialize in.”

Common Questions

Home Equity Loan questions, answered

What's the difference between a Home Equity Loan and a HELOC?+

A Home Equity Loan (HELOAN) gives you a fixed lump sum upfront with a fixed rate and fixed monthly payment. A HELOC is a revolving line of credit you draw from as needed, usually at a variable rate.

Will a Home Equity Loan change my first mortgage?+

No. A Home Equity Loan sits behind your existing mortgage as a separate second lien. Your first mortgage's rate and terms stay exactly as they are.

Can I get a Home Equity Loan if I'm self-employed with no tax returns?+

Yes. We offer bank-statement Home Equity Loan programs built for self-employed borrowers and business owners, using 12-24 months of bank statements instead of tax returns.

Can I get a Home Equity Loan on an investment property?+

Yes. Unlike many lenders that only offer Home Equity Loans on primary residences, we offer this on investment and rental properties as well.
