Splitero Pros & Cons

Splitero FAQ

How does the Splitero product work?

A shared equity agreement (also called home equity contract) is essentially a way to sell a portion of the equity in your home to an investment company.

The Splitero product allows you to tap into the equity in your home without the monthly payments that come from a traditional home equity loan or line of credit. This product is designed for homeowners who need cash for reasons such as home improvement project or to eliminate debt.

Splitero will have a lien on the property (just like a mortgage does), but since it's not a loan you won't be paying Splitero interest or a monthly payment. Instead Splitero gets paid a share of your home's value when the contract ends, which typically occurs when you decide to sell your home or buy Splitero out. For example, Splitero might provide you with a cash investment today equal to 10% of your home's current value in exchange for 16% of your home's future value when you sell.

How much will Splitero Inc invest into a shared equity agreement?

The Splitero program offers equity investments that are a perentage of the property's value, but they do not disclose their equity investment percent range. As you might expect, Splitero Inc has a cap on the amount of funding they will invest in a single home. The most Splitero Inc can invest in a single home is $500,000.

What are the costs associated with Splitero?

Unlike loans, the cost associated with an Splitero Inc investment is not based on an interest rate. There are no monthly payments or accrued interest. Instead, Splitero Inc shares in the future value of your property and typically only receives a return on its investment when you sell your home or decide to buy Splitero Inc out. The percentage of your home’s value that Splitero Inc shares when the contract ends is larger than the percentage of Splitero Inc's investment in your home. Therefore, Splitero Inc will make a profit if your home’s value does not change. If your home’s value increases, Splitero Inc will make a larger profit. If the value drops, Splitero Inc will make a smaller profit, or might incur a loss.

The Splitero program includes an origination fee starting at 1.99% of their investment.

What are the terms for a shared equity investment via Splitero Inc?

You can use the funds provided by Splitero for up to 30 years. After 30 years, you will need to settle up with Splitero Inc, either by selling the home or buying Splitero Inc out. You can finance a buyout with your cash, refinancing your mortgage, or by partnering with Splitero Inc for another term.

To buy Splitero Inc out, you would need to pay back their original investment plus or minus their share of your home’s change in value.
