loanDepot announced on Monday plans to offer new home equity products. loanDepot is a marketplace lender that offers American consumers a choice of credit products through purchase and refinance home loans, unsecured personal loans, and now home equity loans on one convenient tech-enabled lending platform.
This announcement comes just two months after loanDepot’s launch of personal loans. loanDepot personal loans have rapidly gained market acceptance, with funding volume in the first two months of launch reaching more than $40 million. Overall funding volume across the entire loanDepot platform in the first half of 2015 reached $14.3 billion, an increase of 165 percent compared to the first half of 2014, rising from $5.4 billion.
Anthony Hsieh, chief executive officer and chairman of loanDepot shared:
“This is a substantial step forward for consumers and marketplace lending after the financial crisis. The delivery of a home equity product immediately following the launch of our personal loan product confirms the agility and scalability of our tech-enabled lending platform.It reaffirms our commitment of ushering in the next generation of lending that will empower borrowers and investors to connect through multiple products on our platform. Our vision is to deliver a diversified lending model sustainable in all market conditions. We look forward to leading the development of marketplace lending through the introduction of new products and services that provide credit solutions for borrowers with attractive returns for investors.”
Investor interest in loanDepot’s home equity and personal loans is strong, with multiple investors showing interest in both asset classes. Investors are attracted to the company’s innovative model that efficiently connects borrowers with loan products on a platform engineered with substantially higher compliance and license requirements, enabling the company to offer a larger product suite. loanDepot expects to continue adding investors that will help refine and deepen the home equity marketplace, as well as other home loan and personal loan products.
Building on loanDepot’s success of combining purpose-built technology and an efficient marketing platform with advanced predictive data science, the company will offer home equity products that include:
Loan amounts ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 for cash-out financing or home purchase
Up to 95 percent loan-to-value for certain borrowers and transactions
Fixed terms up to 30 years
No pre-payment penalties so borrowers can pay off principal anytime
Brian Biglin, chief risk officer of loanDepot, explained:
“As the economy continues to improve and home prices have stabilized, there is a growing reservoir of equity to help borrowers capitalize on their options to manage their credit profiles. For example, consumers across the country who have legacy home equity products may experience payment shock this year as these loans reset. There are also tens of thousands of homeowners who took out higher-costing personal loans over the past few years who can use our home equity products to lower their effective borrowing costs and substantially decrease their monthly payment.”
loanDepot will offer second mortgages to borrowers starting in September through the company’s 1400+ licensed loan officers who hold more than 7,000 state licenses.
