Hometap is a Boston-based fintech company on a mission to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible.

Its home equity investment product provides homeowners with a fast, simple, and straightforward way to access the equity in their home without taking on monthly payments or having to sell. By investing alongside homeowners, Hometap offers cash in exchange for a share of their home’s future value — all without any monthly payments over the life of the investment.

And its digital platform, the Home Equity Dashboard, allows homeowners to take control of their largest asset — their home — with tools designed to help them better access, understand, and control it.

Through a combination of financial innovation and best-in-class customer service, Hometap enables people to get more from homeownership so they can get more from life.

Because there are a lot of factors that go into determining if Hometap can make an Investment in a property, each property is evaluated independently. That’s why we suggest you start an Investment Estimate so that our Investment Managers have the information they need to speak with you about your specific scenario. Here are some of the qualities that tend to make for a good fit:

  • Your home is located in a state in which we’re currently operational. We currently invest in the following property and occupancy types:
    • Single-family homes
    • Condos
    • Vacation and rental properties
    • Multi-family homes (1-4 units)
    • Manufactured homes
  • You have a minimum FICO requirement of 575
  • You have a minimum of 25% equity in your home
  • You’re looking for an investment between $15,000 and $600,000 (minimum amount varies by state, and maximum amount will depend on home value and equity percentage)

The more you know about your home equity, the better decisions you can make about what to do with it. Do you know how much equity you have in your home? The Home Equity Dashboard makes it easy to find out.

Provided that you take care of your house and pay your taxes, mortgage, and insurance — no. You do need to loop us in if you would like to sell your home, take on another investor, or adjust your mortgage.

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 361 Newbury St, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02115 NMLS Consumer Access

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

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
