To determine how much you can borrow, you first need to know the total equity in your Vermont, New Hampshire or Massachusetts home. The equity in your home is the difference between the value of your home minus all other outstanding balances on your existing mortgage. EastRise will determine the amount of equity you can borrow using one of the following options:

1. Your current tax assessment (published property tax bill) This option is used when the loan amount is $400,000. or less and the combined loan to value is less than or equal to 90% (in other words, the loan is 90% of the home’s value).

2. A certified professional residential real estate appraisal report, which EastRise will order for you (appraisal fee applies).

The minimum amount for this loan is $5,000.
