Fixed Rate HELOC with BFT

What is a Fixed-Rate HELOC?

A fixed-rate HELOC combines features of a home equity loan and a traditional home equity line of credit (HELOC). Here's how it works:

• Regular HELOC vs. Fixed-Rate HELOC: A regular HELOC works like a credit card with a variable interest rate, while a fixed-rate HELOC lets you lock in a stable interest rate on all or part of the borrowed amount, like a second mortgage.
• Protects Against Rate Changes: By freezing your rate, a fixed-rate HELOC shields you from market interest rate increases, giving you predictable payments.
• Flexibility to Withdraw: You can still withdraw as much or as little of your available credit as needed during the draw period, just like with a variable-rate HELOC.
• Fixed Payments: Once you lock in a fixed rate, your payments stay consistent, offering financial stability.

You can usually convert to a fixed rate at closing or anytime during the draw period, depending on your lender. Terms for the fixed portion can range from 5 to 30 years, and you'll pay it back with regular monthly payments, similar to a traditional mortgage.

This option provides the flexibility of a HELOC with the stability of fixed-rate payments.

1. The Figure Home Equity Line is an open-end product where the full loan amount (minus the origination fee) will be 100% drawn at the time of origination. The initial amount funded at origination will be based on a fixed rate; however, this product contains an additional draw feature. As the borrower repays the balance on the line, the borrower may make additional draws during the draw period. If the borrower elects to make an additional draw, the interest rate for that draw will be set as of the date of the draw and will be based on an Index, which is the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal for the calendar month preceding the date of the additional draw, plus a fixed margin. Accordingly, the fixed rate for any additional draw may be higher than the fixed rate for the initial draw .
2. Approval may be granted in five minutes but is ultimately subject to verification of income and employment, as well as verification that your property is in at least average condition with a property condition report. Five business day funding timeline assumes closing the loan with our remote online notary. Funding timelines may be longer for loans secured by properties located in counties that do not permit recording of e-signatures or that otherwise require an in-person closing, or that require a waiting period prior to closing.
3. To check the rates and terms you qualify for, we will conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, if you continue and submit an application, we will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may affect your credit.
4. A Figure HELOC is secured with your home as collateral, whereas personal loans and credit cards are not.
5. Our loan amounts range from a minimum of $15,000 to a maximum of $400,000. For properties located in AK, the minimum loan amount is $25,001 and for properties located in TX, the minimum loan amount is $35,000. Your maximum loan amount may be lower than $400,000, and will ultimately depend on your home value, lien position, credit profile, verified income amount, and equity available at the time of application. We determine home value and resulting equity through independent data sources and automated valuation models.
6. Available APRs range from 6.95% to 16.35%, which includes the payment of a higher origination fee in exchange for a reduced interest rate, which is not available to all applicants or in all states. The lowest APRs are only available to the most qualified applicants, depending on credit profile and the state where the property is located, and those who also select five year loan terms; APRs will be higher for other applicants and those who select longer loan terms. Your actual rate will depend on many factors such as your credit, combined loan-to-value ratio, loan term, occupancy status, and whether you are eligible for and choose to pay a higher origination fee in exchange for a lower rate. Rates change frequently so your exact APR will depend on the date you apply. APRs for home equity lines of credit do not include costs other than interest. You will be responsible for an origination fee of up to 4.99% of your initial draw, depending on the state in which your property is located and your credit profile. You may also be responsible for paying the costs of valuation if an AVM is not available for your property ($180), manual notarization if your county doesn’t permit eNotary ($380), and recording fees ($0 - $315) and recording taxes, which vary by state and county ($0-$1,400 per one hundred thousand dollars borrowed). Property insurance is required as a condition of the loan and flood insurance may be required if your property is located in a flood zone.
7. You should consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest and charges to your Figure Home Equity Line.
