Program Profile

NFTYDoor HELOC

A variable-rate HELOC with a three-year interest-only draw period. One of the more aggressive current digital HELOC options for investment-property leverage, with a distinctive primary-income-earner credit-score approach that can benefit borrowers whose co-borrower has weaker credit.

Program information last reviewed: October 2026. HELOC underwriting guidelines change frequently. Credit-score thresholds, CLTV limits, line amounts, property rules and available terms shown here are educational snapshots and may change before you apply.

Credit & CLTV Summary

August 2026 program snapshot. Approximate ranges — not guarantees. Actual results depend on your specific property, credit profile, and income.

Owner-Occupied

  • 720+~90%
  • 660–719~85%
  • 640–659~80%
  • 620–639~70%
  • 600–619~60%

680+: up to ~50% DTI. 600–679: up to ~45% DTI.

Second Home

  • — Stronger credit can reach approximately 85%–90%.
  • — Lower qualifying tiers become progressively more conservative.

Investment Property

  • — Strongest current credit tiers can reach approximately 85%–90%.
  • — Lower qualifying tiers can fall closer to approximately 75%.
  • — Minimum score can depend on the current investor/channel available.

Investment minimum credit can depend on the current investor/channel available to Morgan. Treat approximately 640 as the aggressive current-end possibility rather than an unconditional universal minimum.

Income, Property & Other Details

Self-Employed Business-Bank Approach

Generally requires around 680 FICO. Applies approximately a 35% expense factor. Qualifying income then reflects ownership percentage.

$10,000 qualifying monthly business deposits

× 65% (after ~35% expense factor) = $6,500

× 50% ownership = ~$3,250 monthly qualifying income

Credit Event Seasoning

Chapter 7/11 bankruptcy~4 years
Foreclosure~4 years
Short sale~4 years
Deed-in-lieu~4 years

Property Eligibility

Generally eligible

  • — SFR
  • — PUD
  • — Condo
  • — 2–4 units
  • — Investment property
  • — Second homes
  • — Eligible ADUs

  • — Manufactured/mobile homes
  • — Commercial/mixed-use
  • — Co-op
  • — Vacant land
  • — Working farms/agricultural

LLC & Other Notes

Current program should be treated as NOT accepting LLC/entity vesting. Investment property generally must be in eligible individual/trust vesting.

Current program can be unusually useful for an eligible borrower with an executed offer/contract and a qualifying job starting within approximately 90 days.

When NFTYDoor Is Worth Comparing

  • —Maximizing CLTV on investment property — one of the more aggressive current digital options for investment leverage.
  • —Co-borrower has weaker credit than the primary income earner — the primary-earner credit approach can be a significant advantage.
  • —Self-employed with business-bank income (~35% expense factor approach).
  • —Future job offer within ~90 days — unusual eligibility for start-date employment.

Main tradeoff

The revolving draw window is only three years — shorter than HELIX (5 years), Aven (5 years), and the longest Figure structure (5 years on the 30-year product).
