Huntsville, Alabama, is America’s boom town—where rocket science meets real estate gold. With home values soaring 24% in recent years, fueled by tech giants like NASA, Redstone Arsenal, and Cummings Research Park, this isn’t just a city; it’s a launchpad. Whether you’re a first-time buyer eyeing a Madison starter home, a tech exec craving a Hampton Cove estate, or a high-equity homeowner ready to tap your wealth, First Equity crafts mortgage solutions as sharp as Huntsville’s skyline.
We’re not your average lender. Jumbo loans ($766,550+) power luxury buys in Monte Sano—perfect for high-balance dreamers (our specialty). FHA loans open doors for Redstone families, while conventional options suit Blossomwood’s custom builds. USDA loans surprise in nearby rural pockets like Harvest, and VA loans honor our military backbone with zero-down perks. Equity-rich? Our 90% LTV HELOCs and fixed-term seconds unlock cash for renovations or that vintage ride. Let's not forget our full suite of Non-QM options including Bank Statement, 1099, DSCR Mortgages, and more—Huntsville’s growth is your gain.
Tech jobs, top schools (Huntsville High ranks elite), and a housing market on fire—24% up, with more to come.
Huntsville Homeowner Win: Sarah’s Monte Sano Equity Play
Meet Sarah, a Huntsville tech exec who turned her Monte Sano home into a financial powerhouse. She snagged her $800,000 mountain retreat in 2015 for $450,000—a steal fueled by Huntsville’s 24% value boom. With a 3% first mortgage now down to $200,000 after 10 years, Sarah’s sitting on $600,000 in equity. Enter First Equity: she tapped our 90% LTV fixed-term second mortgage for $150,000—$50,000 to wipe out credit card debt ($2,000/month), $30,000 to clear a car loan ($1,200/month), and $70,000 for a Jones Valley rental investment.
