Cash from your equity. $0 added to your monthly bills.

Here's what every home equity product page buries: the payment. A $100,000 HELOC draw costs roughly $750 a month before you've paid back a dollar of principal. A home equity agreement (HEA) works differently — you get a lump sum, and there is no monthly payment at all, for up to 30 years. The cost comes out of your home's future value instead of your monthly budget.

No monthly payments, ever — settled from your home's value when you sell, refi, or buy out
No income documents and credit scores from 500 — because there's no payment to qualify for
Lump sums up to $500K — and we'll show you the HELOC math too, honestly
$0/month for up to 30 yrsNot deferred — none at all
Budget stays untouchedNo new bill, no new DTI
No income docsNothing to qualify payments for

The payment you're not making

Drag to the cash you need. This is what a HELOC would quietly add to your monthly life — and what stays in your pocket with an HEA instead.

HELOC figures use an illustrative interest-only rate for comparison — not a quote; actual HELOC rates vary and are typically variable. The HEA's cost is a share of your home's future value paid at settlement instead — your estimate spells it out in dollars.

HELOC: added monthly payment$749/mo
HELOC: paid from your budget over 5 years$44,950
HELOC: paid over 10 years$89,900
HEA: added monthly payment$0 — for up to 30 years

Why "no payment" beats "low payment" for so many homeowners

Payments compound stress; $0 doesn't

A HELOC's rate can move, its draw period ends, and its payment arrives every month whether your income did or not. An HEA asks nothing monthly — your cost settles once, from home value, at a time you choose.

The double play: erase bills, add none

The most popular use here: take the lump sum, pay off cards and loans that were costing $800/month, and replace them with a $0/month agreement. Same debt gone, monthly budget transformed.

No payment = no gatekeeping

Because nothing is owed monthly, there's no income documentation, no DTI math, and credit scores from 500 qualify. The homeowners who most need payment relief are exactly who loans lock out.

We offer the HELOC too

If you have strong income and room in the budget, a HELOC can be cheaper over time — and we'll show you that number. The right answer is whichever your numbers support, not whichever page you landed on.

Frequently asked questions

How can there really be no monthly payment?
Because it isn't a loan. A home equity agreement (HEA) is an investment in your home's future value: you receive a lump sum today, and the provider receives a share of your home's change in value when you settle — by selling, refinancing, or buying out the agreement, up to 30 years from now. No loan, no interest accruing monthly, no payment. It's structural, not a promotional deferral.
Is this like those 'no payments for 12 months' offers?
No — those are deferrals where interest quietly piles up and payments start later. An HEA has no payment schedule at all, ever. Nothing is due until you choose to settle, and settling early carries no penalty.
What's the catch?
The cost structure: instead of monthly interest, the provider takes a share of your home's appreciation at settlement. In a strongly appreciating market, that share can exceed what HELOC interest would have totaled; in a modest market it can cost less. You're trading uncertain future home value for certain monthly relief today — for many budgets that's exactly the right trade, and for some it isn't. Your estimate shows both numbers.
How much cash can I get?
Lump sums up to $500,000, sized from your equity — the form above runs the math instantly. Because there's no payment, the amount isn't limited by your income the way a loan would be.
Do I need income or good credit?
No income documentation of any kind, and credit scores from 500 are accepted. Payment products gatekeep on your ability to pay monthly; with no monthly payment, the gate isn't there. Your home and equity are the qualification.
Does it affect my mortgage or my DTI?
Your existing mortgage is untouched. And because an HEA adds no monthly obligation, it doesn't add to your debt-to-income ratio — which matters if you'll ever apply for a car loan, mortgage, or refinance later. (It is recorded as a lien on title, like any home-secured agreement.)
What if I use it to pay off my credit cards and loans?
That's the most popular play on this page: convert $700–900/month of card and loan payments into $0/month, using equity you already own. Your monthly budget transforms immediately. The tradeoff — a share of future appreciation — is the same either way, so run it against what the monthly relief is worth to you.
When would a HELOC actually be better?
If you have documentable income, 640+ credit, budget room for the payment, and expect strong home appreciation — a HELOC's total cost is capped by its rate and you keep every dollar of upside. We offer HELOCs too, and every estimate we send includes that comparison. No-payment isn't automatically the answer; it's an option most people were never shown.
What happens when I sell my home?
The agreement settles from the sale proceeds: the original amount plus the provider's share of the value change, and the rest is yours. If you never sell, you can settle by refinancing or buying out anytime within the term — no penalty, no forced timeline inside those 30 years.
