If you have built up equity in your home, today may be the time to assist yourself. An equity-take-out is also a good option to allow you to consolidate debt, home improvements, investments, college expenses, and more.

Equity: Equity is the appraised value of your home subtracting all the mortgages outstanding. If it is sufficient we can find you financing. On average 60%; however, sometimes up to 85% financing depending on location. The more your home increase in value, the more you have locked up in value. If you decide to exercise that value we can assist you with simple equity-take-outs. Some lenders with low qualifying depending on the location.
