Home equity loan products offered

Spring EQ offers fixed-rate home equity loans, which range from $25,000 to $500,000. The repayment terms are from five years to 30 years, and you can borrow up to 95 percent of your home’s equity. Spring EQ also offers home equity lines of credit (HELOCs).

Types of fees charged

The fees on Spring EQ home equity loans vary based on the borrower, loan amount and state. You might be charged an administrative fee, plus third-party fees for credit report and flood certification, document prep and notaries. Any loans below $175,000 require only an exterior (“drive-by”) appraisal, while loans above that amount require an in-home appraisal. You’ll be charged a late fee if you make a payment outside of the 15-day grace period.

How to qualify for a home equity loan with Spring EQ

Spring EQ requires a FICO credit score of at least 620 for a home equity loan (higher if you’re borrowing more) and 680 for a HELOC. Home equity loans allow for a maximum debt-to-income (DTI) ratio — your total monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income — of 43 percent. The lender doesn’t typically require proof of assets when you close the loan.
