Quick answer
What is a home equity investment?
A home equity investment—also called a home equity agreement—may provide a homeowner with funds today in exchange for a contractual share of the home’s future value or appreciation. It is generally structured differently from a HELOC or traditional home equity loan and may not require monthly payments during the agreement term.

Potentially useful when monthly cash flow matters.
No monthly payment does not mean no cost. Provider terms may include closing costs, a lien, an agreement term, and a future settlement based partly on the home’s value.
