Traditional HELOCs

Traditional HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is a revolving line of credit borrowed against the equity in a primary residence or second home.

It works similarly to a credit card — you can draw funds as needed, repay, and borrow again during the draw period.

DSCR HELOCs

DSCR HELOC (Debt Service Coverage Ratio HELOC) is a line of credit secured by an investment property, where qualification is based entirely on the property’s cash flow, not traditional income documentation.
