Hometap

Hometap is a Boston-based fintech founded in 2017 that offers homeowners a home equity investment (HEI) — an alternative to home equity loans and HELOCs. In exchange for a share of a home's future value, homeowners receive cash up front with no monthly payments, no interest, and no income or debt-to-income requirements, settling any time within a 10-year term via sale, refinance, or buyout. Homeowners manage their investment and track equity through the free Hometap Home Equity Dashboard. The company has helped more than 26,000 homeowners and completed over $1 billion in investments, and is backed by investors including General Catalyst. Hometap does not publish a public developer API or developer portal; this profile captures its public web properties and identity for the API Evangelist network.

Hometap is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Fintech, Home Equity, Real Estate, and Lending.

Hometap’s developer surface includes getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, and 5 more developer resources.
