Equity Home
|
|
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia Home equity is the
market value of a homeowner's unencumbered interest in their real
property—that is, the difference between the home's fair market value and
the outstanding balance of all liens on the property. The property's equity
increases as the debtor makes payments against the mortgage balance, and/or
as the property value appreciates. In economics, home equity is sometimes
called real property value.

Technically, home equity has a zero rate of
return and is not liquid. Home equity management refers to the process of
using equity extraction via loans—at favorable, and often tax-favored,
interest rates—to invest otherwise illiquid equity in a target that offers
higher returns.
Home equity may serve as collateral for a home equity loan or home equity
line of credit (HELOC). Many home equity plans set a fixed period during
which the person can borrow money, such as 10 years. At the end of this
“draw period,” the person may be allowed to renew the credit line. If the
plan does not allow renewals, the person will not be able to borrow
additional money once the period has ended. Some plans may call for payment
in full of any outstanding balance at the end of the period. Others may
allow repayment over a fixed period, for example, 10 years |
