Ce este Equity?
Home equity is the portion of property value you own: current market value minus outstanding mortgage balance. Equity grows as you repay the mortgage and as property values rise.

Întrebări frecvente
Does equity increase automatically?
Two ways: (1) Paying principal reduces mortgage balance. (2) Home price appreciation increases value. Both grow equity. Price drops reduce it (negative equity possible).
What's the maximum I can borrow against equity?
Typically 80–85% LTV for HELOC or home equity loan. So a $300k home with $100k equity may let you borrow $140k (50% LTV cushion).
Is accessing equity via HELOC a good idea?
It's a tool. Low rates make it attractive for debt consolidation, repairs, or investments. But spending equity on consumption is risky—you're leveraging your home.
