EAGL FAQs
What is an Equity Access Granted Loan (EAGL)?
The Equity Access Granted Loan (EAGL) Product, is a Prosperity Home Mortgage exclusive loan product. With an EAGL, you can borrow against the current value of your home without changing the terms of your first mortgage. Our multi-purpose EAGL 100 can go up to 100% combined loan-to-value (CLTV). If home improvements are your goal, then our EAGL 133 can get you up to 133% of your home's CLTV!EAGLSs typically have a quick and streamlined review and approval process with the ability to access more of your home's value.
What are the requirements for an EAGL?
While our EAGL products do not have the same specific income, asset, and credit qualifying criteria as a traditional mortgage, they do require that we take your entire financial picture into consideration.
Individual product availability and pricing can vary based on your credit scores and your combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio. As with other loan types, having a higher credit score and a lower loan-to-value typically offers the best pricing.

How is an EAGL different from a HELOC?
HELOC vs. EAGL
Opening a home equity line of credit HELOC is a direct access point for your home's equity, without making any changes to your first mortgage. HELOCs are typically structured with an initial interest-only draw period of up to 10 years where you can tap into your home equity, pay back the loan, and tap into the equity again if you want. Once the initial draw period is over, the loan enters the adjustable-rate repayment period for up to 20 years. An EAGL product brings together higher combined loan-to-value access to your equity with an interest-only adjustable rate mortgage and a 20-year repayment period with a fixed rate and payment. Unlike a HELOC, the EAGL has a one-time disbursement of all the loan funds at the beginning.
What's the difference between the EAGL 100 & EAGL 133?
*The advertised loan is a 5-Year Interest-Only Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) followed by a 20-Year amortizing term. The total term of the loan is 25 years. The Interest-Only period is for the first 5 years of the loan and will adjust annually based on a margin and index. After the Interest-Only Period ends, the ARM will convert to a Fixed Rate Mortgage for the remaining 20-year loan term with a regular monthly payment of both principal and interest. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for the initial Interest-Only Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) period is 7.563% based on a 5.625% introductory rate with a $100,000 loan amount. The APR example is for a variable interest rate. Example is based upon a FICO Score of 800. A minimum FICO Score of 660 on a primary residence is required. The actual interest rate, APR, and payment may vary based on the specific terms of the loan selected, verification of information, your credit history, the location and type of property, and other factors as determined by Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC.
