“House-rich, cash-poor” is, for too many homeowners, more than just an old saying.

It’s a daily reality. While their home may be a valuable asset, they often don’t have the money on hand to do major renovations. They don’t have the funds in the bank to allow them to take the next big leap in their lives, like starting a new business, paying for school, or investing in new property.

While a home can be used as collateral for a loan, that still leaves homeowners heavily burdened by debt. Luckily, a Hometap Equity Investment offers a new way for homeowners to tap into their home’s value: it’s an investment strategy, not a loan.

The Hometap family of companies utilizes Hometap Equity Partners, LLC and Hometap Homeownership Solutions, LLC to provide Hometap Home Equity Investments (HEI or HEIs). Each entity has the ability to enter into a HEI directly with the consumer:

Hometap Equity Partners, LLC dba Hometap. NMLS ID# 2467867 NMLS Consumer Access 361 Newbury St, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02115

Hometap Homeownership Solutions, LLC dba Hometap. NMLS ID# 2819930 NMLS Consumer Access 361 Newbury St, Office 450, Boston, MA 02115

Hometap Real Estate Equity Partners, Inc. holds real estate brokerage licenses in certain states. California DRE #02191883

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
