Hometap

Cash Estimate

Investments from $15,000 to $600,000
Highest customer reviews of all home equity investment companies
No out-of-pocket costs

What makes it a good alternative to Noah?

Hometap is a co-investment company based in Boston. Homeowners can get a lump sum payment from $15,000 to $600,000, which is a wider range than what Noah offered.

While the company encourages homeowners to have credit scores of 600 or higher, it technically allows for scores as low as 500, making it a good option for homeowners with poor credit.

Unlock

Cash Estimate

Investments from $30,000 to $500,000
Only company that allows partial buy-out payments
Doesn’t share in the value added from home improvements

What makes it a good alternative to Noah?

Unlock is another Noah competitor you might consider when cashing in on your home equity. The company offers investments between $30,000 and $500,000.

The biggest benefit of Unlock over other equity investment companies is that it allows homeowners to make partial payments throughout the 10-year term instead of having to make one lump sum payment. This could make buying out Unlock’s position more manageable.

Unlock also has a lower credit score minimum than Noah. With Unlock, you can qualify with scores as low as 550. Noah’s minimum is higher at 580.

What makes it a good alternative to Noah?

Figure can be a good option if you’re looking for fast funding. The company offers funding in as few as five days if you can sign the contract online. It’s also more widely available than Noah (only a handful of states are excluded), and you can choose from multiple term lengths.
