Bank wants a deposit relationship and 12 months of reserves? We have lenders that don't require either.
Select programs let you keep your investments where they are and require fewer than 12 months of reserves. Reserve requirements and exceptions depend on the lender and your file.
Private banks often approve jumbo HELOCs only if you move your money to them: open a deposit account, put assets under their management, and keep a full year of payments in reserve.
- No deposit relationship required on select programs. You don't open accounts or move cash to qualify.
- No assets-under-management requirement on select programs. Your portfolio stays with your advisor.
- Fewer than 12 months of reserves. Select programs ask for months of payments (PITI) in reserve, not a full year.
- Reserve exceptions. If you have income, we can ask the lender to approve a lower reserve requirement.
Did your lender turn you down? Or was the red tape just too much?
Tell us what got in the way. We'll look at your deal and help you compare your options.
- Rent too low: no-ratio DSCR.
- Property is vacant: DSCR purchase or cash-out refinance with no tenant in place.
- Not enough reserves: select programs that ask for months, not a year, plus reserve exceptions.
- Income documents: DSCR, where the rent qualifies, or bank-linked income.
- Credit: equity-based options with flexible credit requirements.
- Appraisal came in low: we can look at whether the existing appraisal can be reconsidered, or whether a separate program uses a desktop review with comparable sales.
- Buying a half-built project? We can finance the purchase and the remaining construction together, up to 85% of eligible project costs on qualifying deals.
- Too much paperwork or too slow: the fast-track online HELOC, funding in as fast as 5 days on eligible files.
Program availability, terms and approval depend on the lender, the property and your full loan file.

Turn your mortgage into a first-lien HELOC
Replace your current mortgage with a line of credit in first position. During the draw period, paying down principal increases the credit available to you, so your equity stays reachable for the next deal, a repair or an emergency without refinancing again.
Replace your first: first-lien HELOC
One loan in first position. Fits when your current rate is high, the loan is mostly paid down, or you want one flexible line instead of a fixed mortgage.
Keep your first, add a second
Keep a low-rate first mortgage and add a HELOC or fixed second behind it. Fits when your first-mortgage rate is worth protecting.
First-lien HELOCs are usually variable-rate. Redraws are available only during the draw period and under the line's terms, followed by a repayment period. Availability on investment property depends on the lender, the property and your file.

Questions New Jersey investors ask
Can I get a HELOC on a rental, second home or vacation home?
Yes. We review long-term rentals, short-term vacation rentals and second homes you use yourself. If you split time between personal stays and renting it out, tell us how you use it so we match the right program.
Do I need an appraisal or income documents, and how fast can I fund?
There are two paths. The fast-track HELOC, up to $1M, uses bank-account linking for income and an automated valuation, with funding in as fast as 5 days on eligible files. The large-balance equity program uses a desktop review with comparable sales in place of a traditional appraisal.
Do New Jersey property taxes make it harder to qualify?
They can. High taxes raise the monthly cost lenders count. On rentals we qualify on rent and equity, and we use your real tax bill so the numbers hold up in underwriting.
Can I get a multimillion-dollar HELOC and keep my first mortgage?
Yes. A second-lien HELOC or fixed second gives you access to equity while keeping your first mortgage and its rate in place. Our lender relationships give us access to large-balance investor HELOCs, including an equity-based program with no preset dollar cap. A fixed second gives you a lump sum at a fixed rate.
Do I have to move my investments or keep 12 months of reserves to qualify?
Not with select programs. We have lenders that don't require a deposit relationship or assets under their management, and that ask for months of reserves instead of a full year. Requirements and exceptions depend on the lender and your file.
My bank denied my HELOC even though I have lots of equity and good credit. Why?
Common reasons are low LTV limits on rentals, rental income that doesn't show on two years of tax returns, or month-to-month tenants. We work with lenders that evaluate investment properties using the lease or market rent. If your bank turned you down, we use our lender relationships to find programs that fit your property and the way it earns income.
Can I get a HELOC or cash-out on a property owned by my LLC?
Yes. Many business-purpose and DSCR programs lend to LLCs, so you don't have to move the property back into your personal name.
Can I borrow against a New Jersey property if I live in another state?
Yes. Out-of-state owners qualify with the right lender, and short-term rental income can be counted on many DSCR programs.
What is a no-ratio DSCR loan?
A no-ratio DSCR loan doesn't require the rent to cover the payment. It suits properties that are vacant, just renovated, or rented below market, and up to 80% LTV is common, with up to 85% on select programs.
How much can I borrow with a DSCR loan?
Up to 80% loan-to-value on purchases, cash-out and rate-and-term refinances, with or without a ratio. Select programs go as high as 85% LTV depending on the property and file. All subject to credit, property and program guidelines.
Can I buy a property that's mid-construction and finance the rest of the build?
Yes, on qualifying deals. We can finance the purchase and the remaining construction together, up to 85% of eligible project costs. To review it we need the purchase price, the work already completed, the remaining budget and the permit status.
Can you help if my construction loan stalled?
Yes. If your builder or lender stopped funding draws, a bridge loan can pay off the stuck construction loan and fund completion. Then refinance into a DSCR loan or sell.
