Banks make it hard to pull equity out of a rental property
If you’ve tried to tap the equity in a rental or investment property, you already know the story. Most banks don’t offer HELOCs on investment properties, and the few that do typically want 700+ credit, months of cash reserves, and still cap you around 70-80% of the property’s value, at a variable rate.
A cash-out refinance means giving up your current mortgage rate and restarting a bigger loan with higher monthly payments, plus thousands in closing costs. Home equity investment products pay you today, but take a share of your property’s future value that comes due as a lump sum later.
Lofty works differently. You sell the share of equity you choose to 40,000+ investors on our marketplace, at your price. Your mortgage doesn’t change, there’s no new debt or monthly payment, and you keep collecting rent on everything you didn’t sell.

FAQ
What does it cost to sell equity on Lofty?
A 3% marketplace fee when you sell equity. No upfront fees, no closing costs, and Lofty never takes a cut of your rent.
Can I sell equity if I still have a mortgage on the property?
Yes. Most properties listed on Lofty have existing loans. Your mortgage stays exactly as it is, with the same rate and payment, because you’re selling equity, not refinancing.
How is this different from a HELOC or cash-out refinance?
A HELOC or cash-out refinance is new debt: you borrow against your equity, pay interest every month, and have to qualify with a bank. On Lofty you sell a piece of your equity outright. No loan, no monthly payment, no credit or income requirements, and you keep your existing mortgage rate.
Can I get a HELOC on a rental or investment property?
It’s hard. Many banks don’t offer HELOCs on investment properties at all, and those that do typically require roughly 700+ credit, significant cash reserves, and cap total borrowing around 70-80% of the property’s value, at a variable rate. Selling equity on Lofty skips the bank entirely: no qualifying, no debt, no monthly payment.
How does this compare to a home equity investment like Hometap, Unlock, or Point?
Home equity investment (HEI) companies give you cash now in exchange for a share of your home’s future value, which you settle in a lump sum when you sell, refinance, or the term ends. On Lofty you sell real equity today at a price you set. There’s no future settlement hanging over you. Investors simply share the rent and appreciation of the stake they bought, and you can buy your equity back whenever you like.
Do I need good credit or income to qualify?
No. This isn’t a loan, so there’s no credit check, income documentation, or debt-to-income math. We review the property itself: its condition, value, and rent.
What happens to my tenants and my rent?
Nothing changes for tenants. You keep collecting rent on the share you keep, investors receive the share they bought, and day-to-day management can keep working the way it does today.
What types of properties qualify?
Single-family, multifamily, Airbnbs, commercial, office, land, and owner-occupied homes. It should be in good shape and either cash-flowing or owner-occupied.
How fast do I get my cash?
Once your listing is live, proceeds hit your bank as investors buy your shares. There’s no single closing date.
Can I buy my equity back?
Yes. You can buy back your equity and regain full ownership of your property, or sell the property outright down the road.
