Tap your equity, keep your rate.
Access the equity you’ve built without refinancing your primary mortgage. HELOCs and Home Equity Loans up to $750,000 — fund in as few as 5 days, preserve your existing rate, and put equity to work without resetting the clock.
Two products, one idea.
A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) and a Home Equity Loan both let you borrow against the equity you’ve built in your home — without touching your existing first mortgage. Instead of refinancing the entire loan at today’s rates, you add a second product on top. Your primary mortgage stays untouched. Your rate stays intact. Your equity becomes accessible.
The difference between the two is structural. A HELOC is a revolving line of credit — draw when you need it, repay, draw again during the draw period. A Home Equity Loan (HELOAN) is a fixed lump sum, disbursed once, with fixed monthly payments over a set term. Which one fits depends on whether you need flexible access (HELOC) or a one-time purchase with predictable payments (HELOAN). Lendmire offers both through multiple wholesale lenders.
Three paths through home equity.
Revolving line, fixed lump sum, or investment-property access — each structured for a different equity-use case.
HELOC
Revolving line of credit — draw as needed, repay, reuse. Up to 85% CLTV, from $25,000, 600+ FICO on primary residences. Funds in as few as 5 days.
Home Equity Loan
One-time disbursement with fixed monthly payments. Up to 90% CLTV, from $75,000, 680+ FICO. LLC and trust vesting allowed. Funds in around 10 days.
Investment Property HELOC
Access equity from rental properties and second homes. 680+ FICO required, with the same revolving structure as primary-residence HELOCs.
Home equity, matched to the moment.
HELOC or HELOAN — the right product depends on how you’ll actually use the funds. A one-time renovation with a fixed budget is a HELOAN candidate. Ongoing access for tuition, business expenses, or flexible reserves is HELOC territory. Mixing both — drawing to renovate, repaying, then drawing again for something else — is HELOC too.
We work with multiple HELOC and HELOAN wholesale lenders and match you to the program with the right CLTV cap, lien position, income documentation, and funding speed for your situation. From preserving your existing mortgage rate to navigating credit and appraisal requirements, we handle the product selection so you don’t have to chase rate sheets across lenders.
