Point is the leader in Home Equity Investments

Golden target with an arrow in the bulls eyes

A Home Equity Investment (HEI) empowers homeowners to tap into their home equity without monthly payments or strict credit requirements. It's a flexible alternative to borrowing from a 401(k) plan.

See how Point's HEI compares to a 401(k) loan:

  • No monthly payments:
    Unlike a 401(k) loan, a Home Equity Investment (HEI) does not require monthly payments.
  • Flexible 30-year term:
    With Point's HEI, you can enjoy your funds for up to 30 years. Meanwhile, you have only 5 years to repay a 401(k) loan without risking tax consequences.
  • No risk to your retirement:
    When you tap into your retirement savings, you risk falling behind and experiencing a shortfall in your golden years. With an HEI, you can take advantage of the wealth you've already built in your home – while your retirement accounts keep growing for the future.

I continue to have a very positive experience with Point.
"I continue to have a very positive experience with Point. This is my second home equity loan with this company, and it continues to be a seamless process with good communication, information provided at every step of the way, and expediency from start to finish. I love the way you are connected with the appropriate professionals at different stages of the process, and they have all been extremely pleasant and professional. I also appreciate the high degree of integrity and responsibility by not allowing me to take more money than they felt was appropriate given the value of my home. I highly recommend this company, and would be happy to speak with anyone considering doing business with this company."

Working with Point was truly exceptional from start to finish.
"Working with Point was truly exceptional from start to finish. Their process was smooth, transparent, and perfectly communicated with step-by-step updates every step of the way. I always knew exactly what was happening and what to expect. Jon Trautman and Taylor Andrews went above and beyond — professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They answered every question clearly and made the entire experience stress-free. Point is straightforward, honest, and refreshingly genuine — no gimmicks, no surprises, just real people delivering real results. I’m beyond happy with the outcome and would recommend Point to anyone looking for a trustworthy and efficient company. Five stars all the way!"

Applying was easy, submitting documents was seamless
"Applying was easy, submitting documents was seamless and as long as you keep up with the dashboard the process goes pretty smooth and quick. We had looked into another company and the only thing I could say is I would have liked to be able to communicate with our advisor more easily and them be more accessible like the other company’s was. They were also going to fund a higher amount, but it would have taken longer. I also didn’t agree with their appraisal as we had one with another company and our home was appraiser for much more. However Point was much quicker. "

I had a very insightful and understanding Account Manager.
"I had a very insightful and understanding Account Manager. Ray was very insightful and thorough when he explained the Point HEI program. There were some issues with my application. Ray explained and consoled me about those issues, and he shared his optimism on how to proceed and overcome my issues. Christine was very thorough in updating me on the step-by-step process of my application. I also had assistance from other departments within Point that I was able to contact if I had any questions. "

The whole process is very clear cut and transparent
"The whole process is very clear cut and the dashboard of progress for my account, was easy to follow and understand. The final closing process takes a little long and final approval and clear to close. The download of necessary documentation was easy to complete. The staff are very nice to communicate with and did follow up. The financial education class was very good and helpful. Rachel was very helpful and responsive to my texts. "

My experience has been great because it has been an easy, step by step process!
"My experience has been great because it has been an easy, step by step process! Also, the customer service has been amazing. They did a wonderful job of explaining the entire program and what to expect, as well as choosing the company to provide financial counseling and making sure that, as a customer, I truly understand the process and how it works. Transparency has been a major goal for Point and they have reached that goal!"
