Top Homeowner Queries Frequently Asked Questions
Will filling out the prequalification form affect my credit score?
Completing the prequalification form triggers a “soft” credit inquiry, enabling comparison of lender offerings without credit score impact.
Can I pay back my loan early without penalties?
Yes, All 17 lenders we work with have no pre-payment fees, allowing you to repay your loan early without any extra charges. Enjoy the flexibility of settling your loan before its term without financial penalties.
What is the difference between secured and unsecured loans?
An unsecured loan doesn’t require collateral, whereas a secured loan is backed by assets such as a car or a house that the lender can seize if payments are not made. Choose the loan type that aligns with your preference for collateral involvement.
How is APR determined for prequalified offers?
To determine your creditworthiness, lenders evaluate multiple factors like credit history, debt-to-income ratio, income, and expenses. These aspects play a crucial role in assessing your eligibility for a loan.
How soon will I get my money after my loan approval?
Once approved, you can typically anticipate receiving your funds within a short timeframe of 1-5 business days. Get access to the money you need quickly and efficiently.
What is the minimum loan amount?
While the minimum loan amount in most states is $1,000, we advise requesting a minimum of $2,000 to align with certain lenders who offer loans of $2,000 or more through Hearth. Opting for a higher amount expands your loan options within our network.
I’m not sure when my project will begin. If I take out a loan, can I delay the funding?
While delayed funding is not typically available with most lenders, it’s recommended to verify with your selected lender for confirmation. However, there is at least one Hearth lender that provides an option to schedule the deposit 45 days following approval.
Can I finance more or less than the exact cost of my project?
Certainly! Hearth’s offers page showcases a variety of loan options, allowing you to select a lower, exact, or higher amount based on your project needs and preferred payment terms. Find the financing solution that best aligns with your requirements and preferences.
When is a good time to add a co-borrower to my loan request?
If you don’t qualify for a loan or desire potentially lower APRs, adding a co-borrower is worth considering. By signing the loan agreement together, both you and the co-borrower become responsible for the loan, expanding eligibility and potentially improving loan terms.
If I don’t see offers, can I try again with a co-borrower?
Certainly! If you didn’t receive any offers, you have the option to fill out the pre-qualification form again and include a co-borrower. Adding a co-borrower can enhance your chances of qualifying for a loan or securing more favorable interest rates.
