Use Home Equity To Boost Your Retirement

RefinancingIf you are nearing retirement age and own a home, there is a good chance that you either have your mortgage fully paid off or you are getting close. Over time, you have put a lot of equity into your home. Home equity is the amount of money you’ve put into your home versus what you still owe. While having a lot of equity provides you with security — both mentally and financially — it can also be used to help you live more comfortably and even help you fund your retirement, especially in 2022 when interest rates are at an all-time low. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas discusses the benefits of tapping into this equity and the different ways you can do so. (more…)

This will determine what you can expect to sell for in the future and can also give you an idea of what a lender will provide for a mortgage. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas talks about home appraisals and the important role they play when it comes to buying, selling, and refinancing a home.  (more…)
