Homeowners may have more options than they realize when it comes to accessing the equity in their home—especially if they’d prefer to keep their existing first mortgage in place.

CalTAP has updated its home equity financing resource to help eligible homeowners explore options such as fixed-rate home equity loans and HELOCs. Depending on your goals and qualifications, these solutions may help with home improvements, debt consolidation, or other planned expenses.

Learn more in the full announcement below.

CalTAP offers qualified community-serving professionals a second-mortgage strategy, plus eligible CalTAP and TAPUSA reward benefits.
