Qualify

Following a third-party appraisal of your home, a hard credit pull, and a check of all your information, you may or may not be approved for a Fraction Mortgage.

Based on your application and the appraised value of your home through the Zillow Home Value Index, Fraction determines how much you qualify for.

We will provide you with documentation outlining your funding amount and corresponding terms and conditions. Once you sign, we send you your money. Fraction can fund in as soon as 10 days.

Costs in this stage include*:

02

Receive funds

03

Once you receive your funds, the sky’s the limit. You can invest in a home upgrade or repairs, start a new business or pay down existing mortgages or debts.

Fraction is a home equity line of credit, and you can access funds from it at any point during your draw period. When the draw period ends, you can begin paying down your balance or choose to wait until the end of your term.

This amount you receive will be subjected to:

Escrow fees

Escrow and recording fees are a portion of the closing costs. Borrowers can expect to pay escrow fees between $495 and $550.

Prepayments Icon

What if I miss a payment?

When you work with Fraction, there are no required monthly payments*. Since there are no required payments*, you’ll never pay missed payment fees or penalties, and your credit score won’t be impacted.

03

Check-in

04

Every 5 years, we’ll check-in to refinance our agreement or you can buy us out at no additional cost, at any time.

At the end of your term, you can choose to pay Fraction back or apply to refinance for another 5 year term. Refinancing agreements are contingent on several conditions including credit score and appraisal. If you choose to exit, you must repay the full lump sum you received plus interest.

Depending on your path, you will be required to do either of the following:

We were very pleased with Fraction

We were very pleased with Fraction. We were looking for a reverse mortgage but told we didn't qualify. Fractions is the same idea but has better options. We were explained everything thoroughly and could easily contact them when we had questions. We were always treated with respect. Completely satisfied!!!

An Ideal Product and Process

I find this product (being able to access equity and not having to make monthly payments) as ideal for my financial situation at the present time. The process was extremely seamless to follow, and the human interaction was cordial and efficient.

We found Fraction through our broker

We found Fraction through our broker. What an amazing product! We are mortgage free and purchased a 2nd property but weren't prepared to start making huge mortgage payments again. This worked perfectly for us.

Just what we needed when we needed it

My family and I were able to tap into the value in our home, which was not available to us through standard lenders/banks. So far our expected interest rate is holding as the central bank tackles inflation and raises rates. This innovative product allowed us to get into a home we own and bought us time to get our financial circumstance to where we could access traditional lending. Just what we needed when we needed it

Thank you so much Daniel and all the professional at Fraction! I look forward to doing more business with you in the future.

Fraction has been the light at the end of the tunnel for me, at least for now and i look forward to a longer relationship

Fraction was the ideal mortgage product for us…

“...Fraction offered us an opportunity that was best for us at this point in our 73-year-old lives, and with the house that we're living in. We're hoping for continued appreciation of our home over the next 5 years, so that this deal will turn out to be a 'win-win' for us, as well as for Fraction. They managed to come up with a brilliant mortgage product, that segues perfectly into what the current mortgage market does NOT offer.”

Great process and very friendly people.

From start to finish, my experience was no less than stellar. They explained the process, the paperwork, what was going to happen from point to point. Saki was a great guy to deal with and was very understanding of my specific issues and how to overcome them. Highly recommend dealing with Fraction if you are looking for this type of mortgage.

I'm so grateful for Fraction.

I'm so grateful for fraction, it came right when I needed it. I didn't have to wait till I was 55 years old, I am currently 50. They were helpful and quick, they answered all my questions quickly and in detail. I will definitely do business with them again in the future. Fraction has given me the chance to live my dream life! Thank you Fraction.

Win! Win! I have been dealing with Fraction for…

I have been dealing with Fraction for about 6 months now and have 5 properties with them. They have helped my husband and I realize our dreams of owning 5 properties. Using the equity in our homes we are able to renovate the properties to our liking. This benefits both Fraction and ourselves by increasing the value of the homes. It's a win, I win!

Frequently asked questions

Go through our most asked questions below, and visit our FAQs page for more detailed questions.

How is my home’s initial value determined?

Following a third-party appraisal of your home, a hard credit pull, and a check of all your information, you may or may not be approved for a Fraction Mortgage.

Based on your application and the appraised value of your home through the Zillow Home Value Index, Fraction will determine how much you qualify for. Upon a deeper review, we will provide you with documentation outlining your funding amount and corresponding terms and conditions. Once you sign the final documents, we send you your money.

Learn more here, in our Fraction Basics modules.

Can this help me buy a home? 

Yes, if you have 59% down on a home, you can work with Fraction to purchase the home with no monthly payments.

Why do people choose Fraction?

Often homeowners seek ways to unlock equity in their homes for large expenditures or diversifying income – examples include funding home renovations, consolidating or paying off debt, launching a business, or purchasing a secondary residence. 

While in need of solutions, many homeowners aren’t interested in taking on more debt.

Fraction allows them to access the built-up equity in their homes with optional monthly payments* and an interest rate tied to their local market's value.

Who can use Fraction?

Anyone who owns a home and has enough equity built up can work with us. We have no age restrictions. 

Since there are so many factors that contribute to partnering with Fraction, each property is evaluated independently. Working with Fraction starts with getting a free estimate. With our estimate tool you can see how much tax-free cash you qualify for, with no impact to your credit score.

From there, after a hard pull credit check (which may impact your credit score) and official appraisal of your home, we’ll send you an agreement for your review. Here are some of the things we screen for before we lend:

  • The single-family dwelling is located in a province or state in which we’re currently operational
  • A 640 credit score
  • A minimum of 59% equity in your home
If there are no monthly payments, when do I pay Fraction back?

You decide. Fraction will receive payment when you sell the home or choose to payout Fraction.

How is Fraction compensated? Why are you offering this type of financing?

Fraction offers this financing because millions of homeowners want to be able to take cash out of their home without linking it to monthly cash outflows or having to sell. 

It gives people financial freedom and another way to live their life to the fullest. Fraction may not work for everyone. For those that aren’t best served by other options in the market, the ability to take money out and diversify it, buy an investment property or second home, help a child with a down payment, or invest in a new business venture are the main reasons why we exist.
