Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Home Equity Loan?

A home equity loan lets you borrow money using the value you’ve built in your home.

Think of it this way:
• Your home has a market value (what it’s worth today)
• You may still owe money on your mortgage or property taxes
• The difference between those two is your equity

Example:
If your home is worth $250,000 and you owe $100,000, you may have $150,000 in equity.
A home equity loan allows you to turn a portion of that equity into cash.

What makes a Home Equity Loan an attractive option?

How much can I borrow?

The amount you can borrow depends on how much equity you have in your home.

We typically lend up to 60% of your home’s value. This is called your Loan-to-Value (LTV).

We look at your home’s current value and calculate up to 60% of that amount. If you already have a mortgage, property taxes owed, or other liens, those are included in that total.
The remaining amount may be available to you as cash.

Simple example:
• Home value: $200,000
• 60% of value: $120,000
• Existing loan balance: $80,000

You could receive up to $40,000

We understand that no two borrowers are the same. Every loan is reviewed based on your equity, your needs, and your ability to repay.

Is the interest rate fixed or variable?

Are there fees required upfront?

Is there a fee to start the process or apply?

Is there a minimum credit score?

How long does it take to get a Home Equity Loan?

Can I get a cash out if I already have a mortgage?

Yes, you may still be able to access cash even if you already have a mortgage.

We include your existing mortgage balance when calculating how much you can borrow. As long as you have enough equity in your home, you may qualify for additional funds.

Example:
• Home value: $200,000
• Maximum loan (60%): $120,000
• Existing mortgage: $80,000

You could receive up to $40,000 in cash

Every situation is different, so we will review your property, your current loan, and your goals to determine what options are available to you.

How long are the loan terms?

Is there a prepayment penalty?

What documents are required?

We typically request the following:

• Valid identification and Social Security Number or ITIN
• 1 month of pay stubs (if employed) or 12 months of bank statements (if self-employed)
• 2 years of tax returns and W2s or 1099s (if filed)
• A recent utility bill

If applicable for business owners:
• Operating agreement
• Certificate of formation
• Certificate of filing
• EIN letter

If you do not have all of these documents, let us know. We can work with you to find acceptable alternatives.

Is approval based only on credit?

What causes delays or declines?

Does the time of the year affect when I should apply?

No. As a Private Direct Lender, we assist homeowners year-round. While there’s never a “wrong” time to apply, borrowers often use home equity for different needs throughout the year, such as:

• Early in the year to catch up on property taxes
• Spring or summer for home renovations or improvements
• Toward the end of the year for debt consolidation or business planning

We help homeowners access their equity whenever the need arises. Your home’s equity is one of your most valuable resources, and we’re here to help you use it confidently and responsibly.
