 | Minimum credit score:
Maximum LTV ratio: 90% to 95% Minimum down payment (for first mortgages): 5% to 10% Available loan products and programs: Home equity loans, HELOC, first mortgages |
Our verdict/conclusion/take: Spring EQ is a good choice for homeowners that want to tap more of their home’s equity than most banks and credit unions allow. Consumers can choose between home equity loans, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit and even some first mortgage cash-out refinance options.| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Higher LTV ratio maximums than most home equity lenders Online application process Interest-only payment option to keep payments low temporarily | Very little online information about first mortgage programs offered Doesn’t appear to offer any government-backed first mortgages, such as FHA or VA loans Rates and fees information not available directly to consumers |

Spring EQ mortgage rates and fees
Rate and fee information is not available directly to consumers. The “b2b” button takes users to a matrix with rates and fees, but users can only apply for those rates and fees through an approved mortgage broker or mortgage bank. It’s unclear whether these are the same rates offered to customers who apply directly to Spring EQ.
