Home equity
Home equity is the difference between mortgage(s) owed on a property and the current market value. Home equity has a zero rate of return and is not liquid. Home equity management is the process of putting otherwise lazy idle dollars to work in a liquid, safe, tax favored, way to create an arbitrage. Arbitrage, simply put, is borrowing money at one rate and earning a higher rate elsewhere.
