How it works

  • Access cash

    You receive loan proceeds in a lump sum, which can be used virtually however you choose.
    See how much you could get

  • No new monthly payments*

    Throughout the loan, you are not required to make monthly mortgage payments*, so long as you continue to use the home as your primary residence, keep paying property charges, and meet the terms of your first and second loans.

  • Pay it back at the end

    The loan balance must be repaid when you leave the home or don’t comply with the loan terms. Interest on the loan means the balance grows over time, but the amount you owe will never exceed the home’s value as it relates to the second mortgage.

  • Keep your current mortgage

    Preserve the rate and terms of your current first mortgage.**

HomeSafe Second is currently available in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas
