beHOME tokens deposited as collateral in Morpho Blue. Borrow USDC instantly at up to 50% LTV.

Borrowing

How Borrowing Works

From your address to USDC in your wallet. Six steps, no bank involved, no credit check required.

E-sign your Shared Equity Agreement via DocuSign. The document is remotely notarized through Notarize.com, then recorded as a junior lien at your county via Simplifile.

Entire process completed digitally. No in-person visits.

5

Token Minting

Your equity interest is tokenized as an ERC-1155 token on the Base blockchain (Coinbase L2). The token is then wrapped into an ERC-20 (beHOME) for compatibility with DeFi lending protocols.

On-chain representation of your county-recorded equity interest.

6

Borrow USDC

Deposit your beHOME tokens as collateral in a Morpho Blue vault. Borrow USDC instantly at up to 50% loan-to-value ratio. No monthly payments -- settle at sale, refinance, or term end.

Legal Framework

Built on Proven Legal Instruments

No experimental structures. We use the same legal framework that has deployed billions in home equity investments.

What is a junior lien?

A junior lien is a subordinate claim on a property, recorded at the county recorder's office. It sits behind the primary mortgage in priority. If the property is sold, the primary mortgage is paid first, then the junior lien. This is the same legal instrument used by major home equity companies like Point, Hometap, and Unlock.

What is a Shared Equity Agreement?

A Shared Equity Agreement (SEA) is a legal contract that defines the equity interest being shared, the rights and obligations of each party, settlement terms, and the conditions under which the agreement terminates. It is signed by the homeowner, notarized, and recorded alongside the junior lien.

Why not use an LLC?

In Florida, transferring your property into an LLC destroys critical homestead protections: the $50,000+ property tax exemption, the Save Our Homes 3% assessment cap, and creditor protection. Our junior lien model preserves all of these because you never transfer title -- you remain the homeowner.

Is this legal under federal law?

Yes. The Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 explicitly permits junior liens without triggering the due-on-sale clause in your primary mortgage. This means your existing mortgage is unaffected when a junior lien is recorded against your property.

Federal Law Protects Your Mortgage

The Garn-St. Germain Act (1982) explicitly exempts junior liens from due-on-sale clauses. This means recording a junior lien on your property cannot trigger your primary mortgage lender to call your loan. Your existing mortgage terms remain completely unchanged.
