Heln News

Home Equity Lending News LLC, doing business as HELN News, publishes breaking news & statistics about home-equity finance - including closed-end second liens, home-equity lines of credit and home equity investment contracts. We also report on residential mortgage-backed securities featuring jumbo, non-QM and real estate investor loans. Our coverage caters to retail lenders, third-party originators, correspondent investors, securitization players, servicers, attorneys, and other home-equity stakeholders. Frequently covered home-equity topics include market metrics and forecasts, RMBS issuance, and technology updates as well as equity-sharing products. We also analyze and report on quarterly earnings data for home-equity originations, outstandings and performance by individual company. In addition to reporting daily news, HELN collects and curates statistics it reports in its Statistics Tables and categorizes home-equity firms it reports on in its Companies Tables that include home-equity lenders, servicers and service providers. Our free daily reports are available via personal computers, mobile devices and email, and the news is delivered through an intuitive platform that enables readers to experience a distraction-free deep dive into the inner workings of second-mortgage lending. HELN was founded in 2022 by its CEO, Sam Garcia, a mortgage media pioneer and former mortgage banker who originated his first HEL shortly after high school. In 1998, Garcia founded Mortgage Daily, the mortgage industry’s first-ever online-only news publication, where he served as publisher until its sale in 2021. That excellent experience helps him in leading HELN today.
