FAQ’s

What is the fastest way to get cash for my home remodel?

We pride ourselves on an industry-leading 16 to 21-day closing average for equity-based loans. Our team uses advanced technology and deep bank partnerships to bypass the typical delays found at national chains.

How much equity do I need to qualify for a loan?

Most lenders look for at least 20% equity in your home, though specific program requirements can vary. We offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you calculate your exact buying power and available cash.

Can I tap into my equity if my credit score has dropped?

Yes, we offer specialized credit repair services and have successfully helped borrowers raise their scores significantly in just 45 days. We look at your full financial picture to find a way to say “yes” to your renovation goals.

Are the interest rates higher for home improvement loans?

Rates depend on many factors, but we shop through a network of over 50 lenders to guarantee you the most competitive rates in the market. We work to find a financing solution that fits your specific household income and long-term goals.

Is it better to do a cash-out refinance or a HELOC?

A cash-out refinance is often better for a single, large expenditure with a fixed rate, while a HELOC offers more flexibility for multiple projects. Our brokers will analyze your specific project to recommend the most cost-effective path for your family.
