In our 20 years’ experience helping Utahn’s with their mortgages, here are 7 reasons homeowners use home equity:
1) Consolidate or restructure debt. Even if cash flow is fine, re-arranging debts using home equity and lower rates can be smart.
2) Create a dream home by expanding or upgrading current house.
3) Bolstering self-reliance by expanding an emergency fund.
4) Jump on previously challenging-to-get investments like real estate, business, or other investments.
5) Reduce or consolidate unfortunate medical bills.
6) Assist family members, especially elderly that may require care.
7) Supplement retirement income.
