Homeowners, what options do you have for reinvesting your equity?
Recently, I sent out an email where I discussed how the prices of real estate are going up and how, if you’re a homeowner, the wealth stored in your house has grown. But what other purpose does that equity have beyond just encapsulating wealth? Today I’ll talk about some of the ways you can take advantage of the rising equity in your home.
For one, you could use your equity to downsize to a smaller home, thereby decreasing your debt. You could even upsize to a larger home.
“As a homeowner, you have many options for repurposing your home equity.”
You could also use it to buy a second or vacation home. If you’ve always wanted to spend more time in a particular destination spot, the money that’s just sitting in your current home can be used to make that dream a reality. Alternatively, you can also reinvest your equity in a rental property as an opportunity to generate some income. Otherwise, you could do a cash-out refinance, get a home equity loan, or set up a home equity line of credit to accomplish a number of ends.
