Why we’re different

Rilo Equity was founded on a simple but powerful belief: Home Equity Investments (HEIs) are different — and they deserve a platform designed with that difference in mind. Traditional mortgage servicing platforms weren’t built for the unique mix of real estate and financial asset management that HEIs represent. At Rilo, we’ve built something entirely new, with the goal of delivering clarity, flexibility, and trust to both investors and homeowners.

Who we are

Former HEI Originators and Asset Managers

Rilo Equity was founded by two founders of HomePace, an HEI originator and servicer. In addition, the team brings a traditional asset management view from their experience at firms such as Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, and B2B2C fintech experience from firms such as FutureAdvisor. The team’s experience ranges across traditional and alternatives investment management, as well as across institutional and retail services.

Rilo takes an investment-forward approach, but with a lens toward boots-on-the-ground experience with HEIs - from the operational, underwriting, portfolio construction, asset selection, and risk management angles.
