HELOC Basics

What is a HELOC?

A HELOC is a Home Equity Line of Credit. It lets you borrow against the equity you've built in your home — the difference between what your home is worth and what you owe on it. Read our complete HELOC guide for a deeper look at how the 5-day process works from start to finish.

A HELOC doesn't replace or change your first mortgage. It sits behind it as a 2nd or 3rd lien. Your monthly payment is based only on what you draw, not your full credit limit. Not sure whether a HELOC or a cash-out refi is right for you? See how HELOCs compare to cash-out refinancing.

The full amount is disbursed at closing, then as you pay it down, you can redraw up to 100%of your credit limit during the draw period. Each redraw gets its own rate — no new credit pull needed.

Married? In most states, we can use both incomes to qualify while using the higher credit score.

Funds can be used for anything — no restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a HELOC close in 5 days?
The 5-Day HELOC uses a streamlined underwriting process with digital income verification through Plaid, automated property valuation (AVM) that eliminates the need for a traditional appraisal in most cases, and eNotary closing via video call. This removes the bottlenecks that cause standard HELOCs to take 30-45 days.
What are the requirements for the 5-Day HELOC?
You generally need a credit score of 680 or higher, a primary residence as collateral, and a combined loan-to-value (CLTV) under 80%. Income is verified digitally, so no paystubs or W-2s are needed in most cases. Investment properties and LLC-held properties are also eligible with stricter criteria.
Is the 5-Day HELOC rate competitive?
Yes, rates are competitive with standard HELOC products. The speed comes from process efficiency and technology, not from charging a premium. There are no out-of-pocket costs, as the origination fee is included in the loan.
Can I use the 5-Day HELOC for debt consolidation?
Yes, debt consolidation is one of the most common uses. Other popular uses include home improvements, investment property down payments, business capital, emergency funds, and education expenses. There are no restrictions on how you use the funds.
