Quorum's First Lien and Second Lien HELOCs (home equity lines of credit) let you borrow against your home's equity as you need it—not in one lump-sum loan. Draw what you need, pay interest only on what you use, then repay over time.
A First Lien HELOC replaces your current mortgage; a Second Lien HELOC sits alongside it. Both come with competitive variable rates, interest-only payments during the draw period, and no prepayment penalty.
That's what a Second Lien HELOC is for. It works alongside the existing mortgage — no refinancing, no PMI, no rate disruption. The current loan stays exactly where it is.
A First Lien HELOC replaces the existing mortgage with a revolving line of credit. If the current rate isn't worth keeping, this option simplifies everything into one flexible credit line.
That's exactly what a line of credit is built for. Both first and second lien HELOCs offer a 10-year draw period with interest-only payments. Draw what's needed, when it's needed — no lump sum required.
A standard first or second lien HELOC can still fund home improvements. While it won't use after-renovation value for borrowing, it provides flexible access to current equity — up to $750K.
Yes — but only with a First Lien HELOC. Investment properties (1–2 units) are eligible for a First Lien HELOC with up to 80% LTV. Second Lien HELOCs are available for primary residences and second homes only.
The minimum FICO is 640 for both products, and every application is reviewed individually. A commonsense approach to underwriting means the full picture is considered — not just one number.
The main difference is lien position: whether your HELOC is in the first position on your home or behind your existing mortgage.
Homeowners who want one home equity line tied to their primary mortgage position.
Primary residence (1-4 units), second home (1 unit), and investment property (1-2 units)
Quorum is the second lienholder, behind your existing mortgage
Up to 95% CLTV (Second Lien) / 90% LTV (First Lien) for maximum borrowing power.

"We were able to close my HELOC very quickly, and I was kept up to date the entire way through. I highly recommend Quorum for your HELOC needs!"
" had a wonderful experience working with Quorum to get a HELOC. The team were a joy to work with. They provided prompt responses to our questions, step-by-step instructions, and showed great attention to detail throughout the process."
"My husband and I both work in the mortgage business, so needless to say, we are picky about the HELOC process, because we know how it should be! The process with them was flawless, the tech platform was user-friendly, the communication was stellar, and they offer a very competitive HELOC."
"Quorum was very responsive and clear about everything from the beginning. When the application ran into issues, they went above and beyond to make sure I had all the exceptions and approvals in place for a smooth release of funds."
