Question 1

What makes equity appreciation loans different from a cash-out refi?

Accepted Answer

A cash-out refi replaces your current mortgage. These loans use projected appreciation to set terms without necessarily touching your first lien.

Question 2

Do I need a lot of equity to qualify in Rialto?

Accepted Answer

Yes — existing equity is central to approval. The stronger your current position, the better your terms.

Question 3

Are these loans QM or non-QM products?

Accepted Answer

Equity appreciation loans are not classified as non-QM. They follow qualified mortgage guidelines but with appreciation-based structuring.

Question 4

Can I use this loan to buy a home or only to tap equity?

Accepted Answer

These are typically equity-access products, not purchase loans. Talk to us about purchase options if that's your goal.

Question 5

How does the Inland Empire market affect my loan terms?

Accepted Answer

Sustained appreciation in the Inland Empire strengthens the property profile lenders evaluate. That can work in your favor.
