Question 1

What makes equity appreciation loans different from HELoans?

Accepted Answer

A HELoan gives a lump sum against current equity. Equity appreciation loans may offer better terms but often share future gains with the lender.

Question 2

Can I use this loan type on a Wasco agricultural property?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the lender. Mixed-use or ag-zoned properties add complexity. We'd need to match you with a lender active in Kern County rural areas.

Question 3

Do I need an appraisal to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The lender's equity projection starts with a current appraisal. In Wasco, finding a lender-approved appraiser familiar with local comps matters.

Question 4

What credit score do lenders typically require?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders on these products want 680 or higher. Strong equity position can sometimes offset a lower score, but don't count on it. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 5

Is this a good fit if I plan to sell in a few years?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. If you sell while values have risen, the shared appreciation clause can cost you more than the initial savings were worth.

Question 6

How does SRK CAPITAL find the right lender for this in Kern County?

Accepted Answer

We shop across 200+ wholesale lenders. Not all offer this product — we know which ones are active in Kern County and match your equity profile.
