Question 1

How is this different from a HELOC in Hayward?

Accepted Answer

A HELOC draws against current equity. This product incorporates projected appreciation into loan terms. That can translate to better pricing for properties with strong growth history.

Question 2

Do I need a high credit score to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Credit matters, but equity position and property profile carry more weight here. Talk to us — requirements vary by lender.

Question 3

Can I use this to pull cash out of my Hayward home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cash-out structures are common with this product. How much you can access depends on your LTV and the lender's appreciation model.

Question 4

Will my existing mortgage rate be affected?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a separate loan product, not a refinance. Your first mortgage stays in place.

Question 5

Which Hayward properties work best for this loan?

Accepted Answer

Properties with documented appreciation trends perform best. BART-adjacent and centrally located homes typically carry the strongest cases.

Question 6

How many lenders offer this product?

Accepted Answer

Very few retail lenders carry it. SRK CAPITAL's wholesale network gives us access to specialty lenders that most borrowers can't reach directly.
