If you own a home, you’re sitting on a wealth of equity. You can put that equity to good use, and make money with it.

Many homeowners decide to use their equity to fund a major purchase. The cost could be anything from a major addition to their home to paying off their current car loan or paying for their children’s education. 

While refinancing is a good option, you need to make sure that the cost of refinancing is affordable.

If for whatever reason you choose not to refinance, you can make additional payments against the principal of your mortgage on a regular basis to reduce your balance, or you can make cost-effective renovations to raise the value of your home. 

A real estate agent will assist you in determining how much to spend and which projects can provide you with a good return on investment.
