Borrowers can secure a loan amounting to 60% of the property’s appraised value. This product features attractive terms, with nominal annual interest rates ranging from 17.5% to 21.5% (the effective rate falling between 18.9% and 23.8%), and a repayment period spanning from 3 to 7 years.

A standout aspect of this offering is the option for early repayment without incurring penalties, alongside no monthly service fee for the loan and no one-time application consideration fee.
