Did you know not all “no payment” offers are what they seem?
When a company promises you can “borrow from your equity and add it to your loan,” it might sound like a simple refinance—but it’s often a Home Equity Agreement (HEA). With an HEA, a third-party investor gives you cash upfront in exchange for a share of your home’s future appreciation, which can be riskier than traditional financing.
3 tips to protect yourself:
• Understand exactly what type of loan or agreement you’re signing
• Compare traditional refinancing or home equity options first
• Consult a trusted lender to see what’s truly best for your financial goals
