What to Know About Home Equity Loans on Investment Property
One lump sum. One set schedule.
A home equity loan lets you borrow a fixed amount against the equity in a property you own and repay it over a set period. Equity is the difference between what the property is worth and what you still owe. Investors use this kind of loan to pay for a renovation, to fund a down payment on another property, or to consolidate costs on a rental. Many home equity loans have fixed payments, which makes them easier to plan around.
A home equity loan is often a second loan on top of your current mortgage, so your first mortgage stays in place. If you would rather replace your current loan with a new, larger one, a cash-out refinance is another route. Many banks only offer these on a primary home, so options for a rental can be limited. The property is the collateral, so missing payments could put it at risk.
Availability, eligibility, and terms vary by lender, property, and state. Nothing on this page is a commitment to lend or a rate quote.

Common Questions
What is a home equity loan on an investment property?
It is a loan for a fixed amount, secured by the equity in a rental or investment property and repaid on a set schedule.
Can I get a home equity loan on a rental property?
Some lending partners offer them. Availability depends on the lender, the property, your qualifications, and the state.
How is a home equity loan different from a HELOC?
A home equity loan is a lump sum with a set repayment schedule. A HELOC is a line of credit you draw from as needed.
Home equity loan or cash-out refinance?
A home equity loan adds a second loan and leaves your current mortgage in place. A cash-out refinance replaces your current mortgage with a new, larger one. The better fit depends on your current loan and your goals.
Is my property at risk?
A home equity loan is secured by the property, so missing payments could put it at risk. Borrow only what you are confident you can repay.
