How much cash do you want?
A rough amount is fine. It sets which companies could fit.
What is your home worth?
Your best guess. Home values up to $5M are covered.
What do you still owe on the mortgage?
Home value minus this is your equity.
Roughly, what is your credit score?
Nothing is checked here. This only rules companies in or out.
Can you handle a new monthly payment?
This decides the type. A HELOC has a monthly payment. A home equity investment does not.

Each company only works in certain states. We could not detect yours.

A few things worth knowing
Straight answers before you take the next step.
What is a HELOC, and how is it different from a home equity investment?
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) lets you borrow against your home's equity, draw what you need, and repay with interest, usually in monthly payments. A home equity investment has no monthly payment. You settle later, usually when you sell, refinance or pay from savings, and the cost is tied to your home's future value. This page covers both so you can compare them side by side.
Will anyone call or text me?
This quiz doesn't ask for your phone number. A company may ask for contact details if you choose to visit its site.
Will this quiz affect my credit?
This quiz doesn't run a credit check. A company may check your credit if you apply. Each company sets a minimum score: about 500 for Splitero, Unlock, Point and Nada, 575 for Hometap, 600 for Upstart Home Lending, and 600 in most states for Figure. Figure's rate check is a soft pull.
What could this cost?
Closing costs apply to both types, and they vary by company and state. Ask for the full cost in dollars, not just the rate or share, before you sign.
Could my home be at risk?
With a HELOC, the home secures the loan, so missed payments can lead to foreclosure like a mortgage. With a home equity investment there is no monthly payment, but you must settle by the end of the term, usually by selling, refinancing or paying from savings. The CFPB notes that if you cannot settle, a sale can be forced. Read the settlement terms before you sign.
How soon could I get the money?
Figure says it can fund in about 5 days. Home equity investments usually take longer because of the appraisal and closing paperwork, and some states require an in-person notary.
Can I settle or repay early?
Home equity investments let you settle before the term ends, usually by paying the company its share based on the home's value at that time. HELOCs can generally be paid down any time. Check each company's terms for fees on early payoff.
How is my home valued?
The company arranges a valuation of your home, and the offer is based on that number, not yours. It can come in lower than you expect, which shrinks the offer. You can ask how they value the home and whether you can dispute it before you sign anything.
Do condos and rental homes qualify?
Some do and some do not, and it can depend on the building. This match assumes a home you live in. Confirm condo, townhome and rental eligibility on the company's quote page before you count on it.
