Home Equity & Reverse 6 Programs

Wealth Builder First-Lien HELOC

A first-lien HELOC that functions like a mortgage and a checking account. Payroll deposits sweep against principal nightly — most borrowers pay off a 30-year mortgage in 9–10 years and save six figures in interest. Available for primary, second, and investment properties.

Tap your equity without refinancing your first. Draw when you need it, pay only on what you use.

Second Mortgage

Fixed-rate second lien. Take a lump sum, keep your first mortgage rate. HELOC's more predictable cousin.

Home equity details →

Reverse Mortgage (HECM)

Age 62+? Convert equity into monthly income, a line of credit, or a lump sum without selling or making payments. FHA-insured, heirs keep any remaining value. Most flexible reverse product available.

Get a quote →

HECM for Purchase

Age 62+ and want to right-size into a new home? Use a reverse mortgage to buy with no monthly payment. Combine your downpayment with HECM proceeds — keep more cash for retirement.

Get a quote →

HECM-to-HECM Refinance

Already have a reverse mortgage? If your home value has risen since you closed (Michigan values are up 30%+ since 2020), refinancing your HECM can unlock more available equity, improve your payment plan, or remove a non-borrowing spouse from a bind. Run the numbers — sometimes it's a meaningful win.

Program Questions

Not sure which program fits? Start here.

I'm self-employed and my tax returns don't show much income. Can I still qualify?
Yes — bank statement loans qualify you on 12–24 months of business or personal deposits instead of tax returns. No W-2s, no paystubs. Details on our self-employed loans page.
What's the lowest down payment I can make in Michigan?
Eligible veterans can buy with $0 down through VA. FHA allows 3.5% down with a 580+ credit score, and qualified first-time buyers can put as little as 3% down on a conventional loan. Which one wins depends on your credit and the property — that's the conversation to have with me.
How does a DSCR investor loan work?
DSCR loans qualify on the property's rental income, not yours — no tax returns, no W-2s, no employment verification. If the rent covers the payment, the deal can work, and there are options even when the ratio falls short of 1.0.
Do you handle reverse mortgages?
Yes — HECM reverse mortgages for homeowners 62 and older, including HECM for Purchase, which lets you buy a new home with no monthly mortgage payment. It's a niche most brokers don't touch, and we do them regularly.
How much should I budget for closing costs in Michigan?
Plan on roughly 2–5% of the purchase price, plus prepaid taxes and insurance on top. Michigan has its own quirks — the transfer tax is the seller's under state law, and summer/winter property taxes are prorated differently depending on the township. Full line-by-line walkthrough on our Michigan closing costs guide.
Which loan program is right for me?
Twenty years in this business has taught me one thing: no two situations are the same. Tell me what you're trying to do — buy, refinance, pull equity, invest — and we'll figure it out.

Not sure which program fits? We'll figure it out.

Tell me about your situation — first-time buyer, refi-curious, self-employed, scaling a rental book — and I'll tell you which wholesale lender has the right product at the right rate.
