    Frequently Asked Questions About Home Equity Loans 

    What is a piggyback home equity loan?

    A piggyback loan is a second mortgage taken at the same time as your first mortgage, often structured as 80/10/10 or 80/15/5. It helps borrowers avoid mortgage insurance, reduce their down payment, or qualify for a better first‑mortgage structure.

    What’s the difference between a stand‑alone HELOC and a HELOAN?

    A HELOC is a revolving line of credit with a variable rate, while a HELOAN is a fixed‑rate second mortgage with predictable monthly payments. Both allow you to access equity without refinancing your first mortgage.

    Can I get a home equity loan without refinancing my current mortgage?

    Yes. A stand‑alone HELOC or HELOAN lets you tap into your home’s equity while keeping your existing first‑mortgage rate and terms.

    Do you offer Non‑QM home equity loans?

    Yes. We provide Non‑QM home equity options including bank‑statement HELOCs, DSCR‑based second mortgages for investors, and asset‑qualifier programs for borrowers who need flexible documentation.

    Can investors get a home equity loan or HELOC?

    Yes. We offer home equity solutions for investment properties, including Non‑QM and DSCR‑based second mortgages.

    What can I use a home equity loan or HELOC for?

    Common uses include home improvements, debt consolidation, down payment funds, tuition, medical expenses, or investment opportunities.

    Do you offer home equity loans in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC?

    Yes. Our home equity programs are available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties across Maryland, Virginia, and DC.

    How do I know which home equity option is right for me?

    It depends on your goals. Piggyback loans are ideal for purchases, stand‑alone HELOCs/HELOANs are great for accessing cash without refinancing, and Non‑QM options work best for self‑employed borrowers or investors. We can help you compare all options.
