Plus, Choose Between Two Great Repayment Options

Option 1 – Principal and Interest (Traditional)

  • Introductory rate of 8.25% APR* for the first 6 months, then reverts to rate according to credit score at the time of application: as low as Wall Street Journal Prime Rate for 80% LTV** and Wall Street Journal Prime Rate + .25% for 81-90% LTV**. The floor rate is 4.99% APR*.
  • 10 year revolving draw period – as principal is repaid, more becomes available for use.
  • After the 10 year draw period the line of credit reverts to 15 year repayment term.

Option 2 – Interest Only

  • Introductory rate of 8.25% APR* for the first 6 months, then reverts to rate according to credit score at the time of application: as low as Wall Street Journal Prime Rate for 80% LTV** and Wall Street Journal Prime Rate +.25% for 81-90% LTV**. The floor rate is 4.99% APR*.
  • Interest only draw period – pay only the interest due monthly during the 5 year draw period ($50 minimum payment). This is ideal for borrowers looking to make the lowest possible monthly payment during the 5 year draw period. The trade-off is that because you’re not paying principal, you can’t draw more on the line as you make payments.
  • After the 5 year draw period the line of credit reverts to a 15 year principal and interest repayment term.
