Deephaven Mortgage has launched its Equity Advantage HELOC, giving partners a streamlined, alt-doc option to tap the expanding second-lien market, and help borrowers access equity without refinancing their low-rate mortgages
Non-QM lender Deephaven Mortgage has launched its Equity Advantage HELOC product to provide wholesale and correspondent partners an advantage in the second lien market, a segment anticipated to surpass $100 billion in originations this year. In 2026, the second lien market is predicted to grow to over $150 billion.
The standalone home equity line of credit (HELOC) includes an option for self-employed borrowers to qualify based on 12 months of personal or business bank statements in lieu of tax returns. To make it easier for loan officers to increase their market participation, Deephaven manages the full lending process — from disclosure through funding — and provides continued support.
Tom Davis, Chief Sales Officer, Deephaven Mortgage
“The home equity market remains strong,” said Tom Davis, chief sales officer with Deephaven Mortgage. “U.S. homeowners have more than $11 trillion in tappable equity; trillions of dollars more in credit card, automobile, and student loan debt; and a need to renovate their aging homes. Our bank statement HELOC helps Deephaven’s partners respond, with alternative documentation options for underserved borrowers such as the self-employed.”
The new bank statement HELOC offering provides borrowers with the funding to pay down debt, renovate their homes, or invest in new properties without giving up their existing low-interest-rate mortgage.
