Home Equity Line of Credit

Citizens in the United States have a very low percentage of their earnings being saved in the traditional way, that is, in banks. The number one place citizens are storing their wealth is in the their homes' equity.

Over one hundred billion dollars is being stored right now in homes across this great land. For the most part that money is just sitting there, not really growing or working for those that own it. In recent years this fact has started to become more widely known with the resultant rush by those with equity to get access to it. Many are using the traditional mortgage, some are accessing their equity via second mortgages and still others are using home equity lines of credit.

The mortgage market has also responded by providing a greater supply and variety of lending instruments to accommodate the demand. In some instances this has happened to the detriment of borrowers' equity. With high fees, sneaky document language, and fraudulent application practices consumers are getting ripped off in record numbers. Identity theft is crippling consumers to the record rate of one new victim per minute.  And yet I think that a home equity line of credit is one of the best lending instruments available, if you ask for the right features.
