The comparison engine

See the real cost of every home equity investment, side by side.

Providers show you cash today, not what it costs. This tool runs each provider's published terms through one model and converts every offer into the same number: the effective annual cost of the money.

Your situation

Providers limit total debt plus investment against your home, so this decides who can fund you.
Historic US average is roughly 3–5%. An HEI costs more the faster your home grows.
Some agreements must be settled within 10 years; we flag it when that applies.
Reference only, so you can see each HEI's effective rate next to ordinary borrowing.

      Estimate, not financial advice. Results apply each provider's published terms to your inputs using one consistent model: the cash you net after fees, what you would owe at settlement, and the annual rate that links the two. Real offers are set individually and vary by state, property, and underwriting, and eligibility limits here are indicative. Always confirm terms in your written offer. How we verify terms.
