Homeowner Spotlight: Funding Rental Properties without a Loan

Nana is a Massachusetts-based real estate investor that needed to finance renovations for a new rental property. After researching HELOCs for rental properties, home equity loans, and other real estate financing options, he came across a home equity loan loan alternative, Hometap, and discovered how he could use the equity from his other investment properties to fund his latest project.

What separates a home equity investment like the one Hometap offers from traditional solutions is that there are no monthly payments and no interest. That means Nana could use the funds to focus entirely on renovating his rental property to get tenants in, without worrying about cashflow issues.

As for Nana, he added another accolade to his resume, joining the Hometap team as an Investment Manager. Surprised by how many of his peers had, like him, never heard of home equity investing, he looked at the role as an opportunity to educate other investors — and homeowners — about the unique solution Hometap provides. Now, as an Investment Manager, he’s able to speak to the ease of use and seamless funding process from the unique perspective of a homeowner that’s experienced every step of an investment firsthand.

How Hometap works

Hometap can be a smart way to tap into your home’s equity without taking out another loan. Think of Hometap like a time machine for your home equity: it helps you fund your present without the added stress of monthly payments and interest.

Volunteer Work with Heading Home

This is the second year our team has participated in the Up and Out program with Heading Home, partnering with volunteers from Knox and OwnUp to furnish a home for a Boston family. To volunteer for a cause so close to our hearts and so aligned with our mission of making home ownership more accessible is extremely fulfilling, and a tradition we hope to keep going every year.
