Should you?
Cashing in on home equity is very popular these days. So how are homeowners putting that equity to work? Investing is a popular and practical application.
Home improvement is probably the most popular use of funds. In addition to the lifestyle upgrade, an investment can often raise the property's value. In time, the added equity can exceed the amount you borrow.
Rather than investing in property, some people invest in themselves or their offspring by applying funds towards college tuition. Student debt in the form of federally-held loans can be strangling for years to come. Equity loans can offer more flexibility and better terms.
Some homeowners are using equity loans to put a down payment on a second property, whether for vacation use or rental. The right investment can pay dividends in the future, and in some cases, create cash flow in the near term.
Business owners may use equity borrowing to invest in businesses. The terms and tax advantages in equity borrowing can be much more attractive than an unsecured loan or business line of credit.
Equity borrowing provides homeowners the means to invest in the future, usually with favorable terms compared to other credit products. It is a quick means of bringing cash to the table for a variety of uses.
