What Is A Prepayment Penalty

A fee some loans charge when you pay off the balance early. At least one HELOC program we offer does not have one.

A prepayment penalty is a charge for prepaying part or all of a loan early. On at least one program that allows one, it is a percentage of the amount prepaid.

At least one HELOC program we offer has no prepayment penalty, whether the home is a primary residence, a second home, or an investment property. That line can be in first or second position. For a line drawn in full at closing, see our home equity loan options.

Where penalties do show up is on some rental property loans. At least one non-QM loan for investment property charges one, while at least one non-QM loan for primary residences and second homes does not permit one.
