What is an Alt Doc Home Equity Line of Credit?
Our Alt Doc Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is designed for borrowers who may not meet traditional income documentation requirements. This flexible financing solution is ideal for real estate investors, self-employed borrowers, and small business owners who need access to funds without the hassle of conventional loan documentation.
An Alternative Documentation Line of Credit (HELOC) allows borrowers to access funds using non-traditional income documentation methods. This type of HELOC is perfect for those who can provide bank statements, asset depletion, or other alternative documentation to qualify for the loan. It offers the flexibility of a revolving credit line, enabling you to draw, repay, and draw again as needed.
