Home Equity Investment (Point, Hometap, Unison)

Sell a slice of future appreciation for cash today — no monthly payments.

Overview

HEI providers give homeowners a lump sum (typically 10–20% of home value) in exchange for a share of future appreciation (or depreciation) on exit or a 10-year buyback. Unlike a HELOC, there are NO monthly payments and NO interest charges. Useful when DTI is stretched, credit is weak, or cash-flow can't support debt service. Trade-off: you cap upside.
