AmeriSave Home Equity Review
An online home equity application from a lender that returns money on complaints far more often than its peers.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief.
Our verdict
Borrowers under a 680 score can start here: AmeriSave's minimum is 620, where Rocket's 680 turns them away, and it closes 26.8% of CFPB complaints with money returned. That relief rate can also mean more went wrong. Rates, fees and maximum loan-to-value aren't published, which holds it back, so confirm all three at application.
Skip it if you want rates, fees and loan-to-value limits published before you apply.
