Choose the Right Way to Access Your Equity
Not every homeowner’s situation is the same. We offer multiple structured home equity solutions depending on your goals, income profile, and current mortgage setup.
Stand-Alone Home Equity Loans & HELOCs
A stand-alone home equity loan or HELOC is taken after your first mortgage is already in place.
This option is ideal when you want to access equity without refinancing your low-rate first mortgage.
When a Stand-Alone Equity Loan Makes Sense
- You locked in a historically low first mortgage rate
- You need funds for renovations or additions
- You want to consolidate credit card or personal loan debt
- You’re covering tuition, medical expenses, or major life events
- You want liquidity for business or investment opportunities
Available Options
Fixed-Rate Home Equity Loans (HELOANs)
- Predictable payments
- Stable interest rate
- Structured repayment timeline
Variable-Rate Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs)
- Flexible draw period
- Interest paid only on what you use
- Revolving access to funds
We help you determine whether a fixed or revolving structure aligns best with your long-term financial goals.
Piggyback Home Equity Loans (80/10/10 & More)
A piggyback loan is a second mortgage taken at the same time as your primary mortgage. This strategy is commonly used for home purchases and high-balance loan structuring.
Learn how piggyback loans compare to conventional financing options.
Benefits of Piggyback Financing
✔ Avoid mortgage insurance (PMI)
✔ Lower your first mortgage balance
✔ Reduce required down payment
✔ Improve structure for jumbo or high-cost properties
✔ Maintain stronger monthly cash flow
Common Piggyback Structures
- 80/10/10 – 10% down, 10% second mortgage
- 80/15/5 – 5% down, 15% second mortgage
- Custom combinations based on borrower profile
Piggyback loans are ideal for buyers who want flexibility, liquidity, and intelligent leverage — especially in competitive markets like Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland, and DC

Traditional programs typically prefer 620+, while some Non-QM programs offer expanded flexibility.
Are piggyback loans only for purchases?
Primarily yes, but some structured scenarios may allow similar multi-loan strategies depending on transaction type.
