Home Equity Lending News

Home Equity Lending News LLC is the leading source of breaking news & statistics exclusively about home-equity and junior-lien products - including home-equity loans, home-equity lines of credit, home equity investments, purchase-money seconds, and home-improvement loans. Our coverage caters to retail lenders, third-party originators, correspondent investors, securitization players, servicers, attorneys, and other home-equity stakeholders. Frequently covered home-equity topics include market metrics and forecasts, RMBS issuance, and technology updates as well as equity-sharing products. We also analyze and report on quarterly earnings data for home-equity originations, outstandings and performance by individual company. In addition to reporting daily news, HELN collects and curates statistics it reports in its Statistics Tables and categorizes home-equity firms it reports on in its Companies Tables that include home-equity lenders, servicers and service providers. Our free daily reports are available via personal computers, mobile devices and email, and the news is delivered through an intuitive platform that enables readers to experience a distraction-free deep dive into the inner workings of second-mortgage lending. HELN was founded in 2022 by its CEO, Sam Garcia, a mortgage media pioneer and former mortgage banker who originated his first HEL shortly after high school. In 1998, Garcia founded Mortgage Daily, the mortgage industry’s first-ever online-only news publication, where he served as publisher until its sale in 2021. That excellent experience helps him in leading HELN today.
