let me clarify... they can borrow up to 50% of their equity...

however, i think the company will only loan up to $50k, so may house value would be $100k..

and yes, its almost as bad as a payday loan, but payday loans are typically 20% per month i think..

this company lends to higher risk people that dont have the credit to get conventional loans or lines of credit..

i am still learning all the details, but so far they seem to have a very low default rate and their clients seem to borrow only what they can pay back..
