2020 HW Tech100 Real Estate winner: Hometap

Smart loan alternative for accessing home equity

Hometap provides homeowners with a smart new loan alternative for accessing home equity without any monthly payments or interest. By taking on an investor rather than a lender, homeowners can access the cash they need to fund renovations, investment opportunities, a second home and more — completely debt-free. A Hometap investment allows investors to partake in residential real estate investing while also providing homeowners with near-instant cash that doesn’t add debt. These investments most often help homeowners fund small businesses, tuition, home renovations and pay off credit card debt.

  • Hometap has raised $130 million
  • Eliminating the house-rich, cash-poor crisis for homeowners
  • Granting them access to up to $300,000 from their home equity
