Is This Right For You?

Built for Hawaii Homeowners With Equity

If you locked in a low rate and have built up equity, this HELOC lets you access cash without touching your first mortgage.

💳

High-Interest Debt

Credit cards, personal loans, medical bills at 20-25%? Consolidate into a much lower HELOC rate and free up monthly cash flow.

🏠

Low First Mortgage Rate

You got a great rate don't give it up. A HELOC sits as a second lien, so your 3-4% first mortgage stays completely intact.

🔨

Home Improvements

Kitchen, bath, ADU/ohana unit invest in your property and increase its value using the equity you've already built.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this affect my existing mortgage rate? +
No. A HELOC is a separate second lien. Your first mortgage rate, term, and payment remain completely unchanged. You're simply opening a new line of credit secured by your home's equity.
How fast can I get funded? +
The Equity Access HELOC can fund in as few as 5 business days from a completed application dramatically faster than traditional HELOCs which can take 4-6 weeks.
What credit score do I need? +
Minimum 640 FICO for primary residences and second homes. Investment properties require a minimum of 700. Maximum CLTV varies by FICO score — higher scores unlock higher CLTV limits. Contact Richard to confirm your eligibility.
How much can I borrow? +
Lines range from $25,000 to $500,000, up to 80% CLTV on primary residences (lower for second homes and investment properties). A minimum initial draw of 75% of the approved line is required at closing. No prepayment penalties.
What properties qualify? +
Single family residences, 2-4 unit properties, planned unit developments (PUDs), and condominiums. Minimum property value is $100,000.
Are there fees? +
There is an origination fee based on your line amount (Hawaii: 2.74%). Origination fees are calculated on the full line amount, not just the draw amount. Contact Richard for a full fee breakdown specific to your situation.
What are the loan terms? +
The Equity Access HELOC is a 5-year interest-only draw period followed by a 25-year repayment period. During the draw period you only pay interest on what you use. The rate is variable, tied to WSJ Prime (currently 6.75%) plus a margin based on your credit score and CLTV.
What income verification is required? +
Income is verified digitally via Plaid or The Work Number — fast and fully paperless. Business bank statements are now also accepted for credit scores above 680 (must use Plaid). If digital verification is unsuccessful, you can upload income documentation directly through the platform.
Is my information secure? +
Yes. The application uses a secure, bank-grade digital platform. Your information is encrypted and protected throughout the process.
