I think we get this product through GNC, but I forget. Anyway, they require
a 720+ mid FICO on the lowest borrower.
It should be a great product for this kind of credit profile because it
gives them instant access to their equity at any time, and it pays off in
about 12 years, or 12 years less than a typical mortgage -- one or the
other.
The money in the bank is effectively earning interest at the affective
mortgage rate, which is a pretty good thing.
