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*:


Home appraisal & inspection
Appraisal costs are out-of-pocket and can cost around $375 depending on the size and type of home being appraised.
Inspections are only required for loan amounts over $1 million.

Recording fees
Costs for recording fees vary based on your location.
Borrowers can expect to pay anywhere from $225 to $270.

Title tax and insurance
These costs vary on location and dwelling type. Title tax will generally cost anywhere between $25 to $115.
Title insurance policies can cost you between $300 to $1100.
Receive funds
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:


Origination fee
Depending on the state you’re in, your origination fee will be up to 2.5%, including a potential broker fee of up to 1.5%.*

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

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.
Check-in
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:


Pay back Fraction
Ready to exit your loan? The amount owed is based on the appreciated value of your home and includes the remaining balance on the principal and interest less the prepayments you made.

Refinance your loan
At the end of your term, you can choose to refinance for another 5 year term.
Refinancing is contingent on several conditions including credit score and appraisal and are subject to our 1% refinancing fee.
How we determine your interest rate
At the end of your term, we calculate your interest rate based on the change in value of your home.

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