Using Home Equity to your Advantage
Canadians have been borrowing against their home’s equity in record numbers, taking out billions of dollars in cash each year. There has been a large movement to refinance home loans and pull out equity for things like:
- Home improvements
- Investments
- College expenses
- High-interest debt consolidation
Many people used to view their homes as a safe haven, but they are now more willing than ever to borrow against the equity they have in them. Whereas home equity was once relied upon, it is now frequently utilized. While taking equity out of your home may be a smart move, you should be aware of both the advantages and potential risks.
