What Lenders Consider

Qualification and available terms depend on your financial profile and property information. A lender may review factors such as income, credit history, current debts, payment history, property value, and the equity available in your home.

How Home Equity Works

Home equity is the difference between your home's current value and the amount you owe on loans secured by the property. The amount you may be eligible to borrow depends on the property's value, existing secured debt, available equity, and underwriting requirements.
