Investor Junkie

If you’re looking to access the equity in your home but you’re not looking forward to the new monthly payments that come with a loan, it’s time to take a close look at Hometap.

It provides an opportunity to receive debt-free cash by selling a percentage of the equity in your home. The cash can be used for just about any purpose. Pay off credit card debt. Buy a second home. Or even start a new business.

When you sell the home or settle the investment, you pay Hometap an agreed-upon percentage of the then-current appraised value of the home.

Boston-based Hometap was founded in 2017 and is a home equity investment service. That is, it provides customers with cash for the equity in their homes but without the burden of monthly payments. Hometap has a Better Business Bureau rating of A+, the highest rating on a scale of A+ to F. It’s also received 4.9 out of five stars on Trustpilot, with 92% of reviewers giving it an “excellent” rating.

A Hometap HEI has a ten (10) year term, during which no monthly or recurring payments are required. Hometap records a lien against the property, in the form of a mortgage or deed of trust, to secure its interest. You may choose to settle the Investment at any time during the term without incurring any penalties by exercising an Owner Repurchase. If you do not settle the HEI by the expiration of the term, your Hometap HEI provider may exercise its right to acquire a percent ownership interest in the property and then work with you to sell the property. You may contact either Hometap entity at hello@hometap.com (for prospective or current applicants) or homeowners@hometap.com (for homeowners with an active HEI) for more information. Eligibility criteria are subject to change. For current criteria, please contact your Hometap HEI provider at (855) 223-3144 or visit www.hometap.com/faqs
