Why Consider HEI

A better way to access your equity

Home Equity Investments are a fundamentally different product from HELOCs and cash-out refis — and they're right for a specific kind of homeowner.

No monthly payments — ever

An HEI is not a loan. You receive a lump sum in exchange for a share of your home's future appreciation. You repay at sale, refinance, or end of term.

Flexible 10–30 year terms

Most HEI programs run 10 to 30 years with no required monthly repayment during that period. You stay in control of your timeline.

High DTI? Still eligible.

Because HEIs aren't debt, many programs don't factor your debt-to-income ratio into eligibility — opening the door for homeowners HELOC lenders turn away.

No income verification required

Self-employed, retired, or income-variable? Many HEI programs qualify you based on equity and property — not W-2s or tax returns.


Not all HEI programs are the same

Each provider has different equity requirements, credit minimums, investment amounts, and property criteria. We match you to the right one.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this a loan? Will I have monthly payments? +
No — a Home Equity Investment is not a loan and carries no monthly payments. You receive a lump sum in exchange for a share of your home's future value. Repayment happens when you sell, refinance, or reach the end of your term.
Does this affect my credit score? +
Completing our matching form does not trigger any credit inquiry. If you move forward with a provider, they will conduct their own review — which varies by company but is typically a soft pull at pre-qualification.
What if I have a first mortgage or HELOC already? +
Most HEI companies allow existing liens. Eligibility depends on your combined loan-to-value (CLTV) — as long as your total liens plus the HEI investment amount stay below the program threshold (typically 75–80% of your home's value), you may still qualify.
How does HEIScout make money? +
We receive a referral fee from HEI providers when we connect them with a qualified homeowner who proceeds to closing. This service is completely free for homeowners — you pay nothing to use our matching service.
How long does the matching process take? +
Our form takes about 90 seconds to complete. You'll receive your match results and an introduction to the right provider(s) within one business day.
