Question 1

How much can I borrow against my Orange Cove home?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders allow 80-85% combined loan-to-value. If your home is worth $250k and you owe $100k, you could borrow roughly $100k-$112k depending on credit and income.

Question 2

What if my income varies seasonally from farming?

Accepted Answer

We work with lenders who average your income over two years or use bank statements instead of tax returns. Seasonal income is normal here—proper documentation gets you approved.

Question 3

Do I need perfect credit for a home equity loan?

Accepted Answer

No. Most approvals start at 620, though 680+ gets better rates. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions, but equity loans are more forgiving than purchase mortgages.

Question 4

How long does closing take in Orange Cove?

Accepted Answer

Typically 3-4 weeks from application to funding. Rural appraisals can add a few days, but we expedite when borrowers need cash quickly for time-sensitive projects.

Question 5

Can I use the money for anything I want?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lenders don't restrict how you spend it. Common uses include farm equipment, debt consolidation, medical bills, and home repairs—whatever matters to you.
