Home Equity Line of Credit

Your equity, within reach.

A home equity line of credit with automated underwriting and no hard credit check to get started—so you can access the equity you've built in as few as five days, without refinancing the mortgage you already have.

What It Is

Equity you can actually use.

If you've owned your home for a while—or watched values rise in recent years—you've likely built meaningful equity. A home equity line of credit lets you borrow against that equity as you need it, drawing what you want and paying interest only on what you use.

What sets this line apart is how quickly and cleanly you can get to it. Automated underwriting and a digital home valuation replace weeks of paperwork and waiting. You can see where you stand without a hard credit check, verify income by securely linking your bank instead of gathering documents, and—for qualified applications—access funds in as few as five days.

And because it sits alongside your existing mortgage rather than replacing it, you keep the rate you already have. For many homeowners, that makes a HELOC a more sensible path than a cash-out refinance.

Why This HELOC

Built to be straightforward.

Fast where it should be fast, clear where it matters most.

No. 01

Funding in as few as 5 days

Automated underwriting and digital valuation move your application forward in days, not weeks—so the line is ready when you need it. Timelines vary by application and aren't guaranteed.

No. 02

No hard credit check to start

Getting started uses a soft credit inquiry that won't affect your score. A hard inquiry only happens later, once your application moves forward.

Income verified by linking your bank

Securely connect your bank accounts to verify income—no digging up pay stubs or long document checklists.

No. 04

Primary, second, or investment

Eligible on your primary residence, a second home, or an investment property—flexibility many lenders don't offer.

No. 05

Keep your first mortgage

Access your equity without touching the mortgage—and the rate—you already have. A measured alternative to a cash-out refinance.

No. 06

Guidance the whole way

Fast technology, real advisors. You get a Cohen Mortgage advisor to walk you through your options—clearly, and without pressure.

Common Uses

What people use it for.

A line of credit is flexible by design. Homeowners commonly use it for renovations and repairs, consolidating higher-interest debt, a down payment on an investment property, tuition or a major planned expense, or simply keeping a flexible safety net in place. You draw what you need, when you need it, and only pay interest on the amount you actually use.

Not sure whether it's the right move? That's a conversation worth having before you commit—and one we're glad to have with you.

Common Questions

HELOC questions.

How fast can I actually get funded?+
For qualified applications, funding can happen in as few as five days after approval. Automated underwriting and a digital home valuation remove the steps that usually slow things down. Exact timelines vary by application and aren't guaranteed.
Will checking my options affect my credit?+
No. Getting started uses a soft credit inquiry that has no impact on your credit score. A hard inquiry only occurs later, once you move forward with a full application.
What types of property are eligible?+
Primary residences, second homes, and investment properties may all qualify—one of the more flexible aspects of this program. Eligibility depends on the property and your overall profile.
Do I have to give up my current mortgage rate?+
No. A HELOC sits alongside your existing mortgage rather than replacing it, so you keep the rate you already have. That's often what makes it more sensible than a cash-out refinance.
How is my income verified?+
You can securely link your bank accounts during the application to verify income—no need to gather and upload stacks of paperwork.
What can I use the funds for?+
However you'd like—renovations, debt consolidation, an investment property down payment, tuition, or a flexible reserve. You draw what you need and pay interest only on what you use.
