Equity Protection Program

Sell Your Home With Little or No Equity

Need to move, but your mortgage balance leaves little room for selling costs? We can discuss selling your San Diego or Riverside County home after reviewing your loan, property condition and timing.

VA, FHA or conventional loan? We review the loan's specific terms before discussing options.

Welcome to Our Equity Protection Program

Start with your property address, condition and preferred move date. Have a current loan statement handy so we can discuss the balance, monthly payment, interest rate and whether payments are current. You can start a conversation even if some details are missing.

Ask who would buy the home and how the sale would work. A proposal may be a direct purchase by My California Home Solution, an assignment of our purchase contract to another buyer, or another arrangement. The written agreement should identify the proposed structure, buyer and each party's responsibilities.

With little equity, the mortgage balance and selling costs matter as much as the price. Ask whether the existing loan would be paid off at closing or remain in your name, who pays closing costs and what net amount escrow estimates you would receive. Those answers depend on the written terms and your loan.

You do not need to have chosen a sale route before asking questions. Contact MYCAHS about your mortgage and timing. Use the form above or call (858) 465-5417 to begin a no-pressure conversation.

Equity Protection Program in 4 Steps

Step 1

Tell Us About Your Situation

Share the property address, condition, loan details and when you need to move. Recent purchases, relocation or limited equity are reasons to discuss options, not automatic eligibility.

Step 2

Review Your Mortgage Information

We review your current loan statement, payment status, interest rate and terms alongside the property. If payments are behind, ask your servicer about deadlines and available options. An offer does not stop foreclosure.

Step 3

Review the Written Proposal

Review whether the proposal is a direct purchase, assignment to another buyer or another arrangement. Before accepting, confirm the price, closing costs, buyer's role and what happens to the existing loan in the written agreement.

Step 4

Close the Sale

Title and escrow review the required documents and loan information. Closing depends on those requirements and the agreed structure; a sale does not automatically remove a loan from your name. Confirm any remaining responsibilities before signing.

Common Questions

Equity Protection Program FAQ

What is the Equity Protection Program?
It is a conversation about selling when your mortgage balance leaves little room for selling costs. We review the property, loan details and timing before discussing a written proposal. No particular sale structure or result is guaranteed.
Do I need to be in foreclosure to discuss options?
No. You can contact us about limited equity, a recent purchase or relocation even if payments are current. Whether a sale is workable depends on the property, loan and written terms, not just the situation.
What types of loans do you work with?
Loan type alone does not establish eligibility. Tell us whether your loan is VA, FHA, conventional or another type so we can review its terms before discussing a possible sale.
Will this hurt my credit?
Credit outcomes depend on your loan, payment history, and transaction terms. When the existing loan stays in your name, your credit remains exposed to its payment history. Speak with your loan servicer and a HUD-approved housing counselor about your options.
How long does the process take?
We'll make a written offer after we review the property. Timing depends on your loan, title, and the circumstances of your property.
Is there any cost to me?
No commission charged by us. Who pays which closing costs is spelled out in your written offer. Existing mortgages, liens, taxes and other amounts affecting the property can reduce your proceeds. Ask escrow for the estimated net amount you would receive, not just the purchase price.
What happens to my mortgage after closing?
Whether the loan is paid off at closing or remains in your name depends on the written structure. In a subject-to arrangement, the existing loan can stay in the seller's name; agreeing that someone else will make payments is not an automatic release, refinance or lender consent. Review the proposed terms with your loan servicer and qualified independent advisors before deciding.
