Home Equity, Americans' Hidden Wealth
Posted Oct 7, 2007 @ 9:09 pm, Viewed by 254 Visitors, Read 258 Times.
Americans have recently (in the last fifty years) stopped saving, at least in the traditional sense.
Our friends and neighbors have one of the lowest savings rates of any developed country. Yet that doesn't mean we don't have wealth. The number one place people in the United States store their wealth is in their homes. Over One hundred billion dollars is presently being stored in home equity.

Some borrowers are using mortgages, some home equity loans and some are applying for a home equity line of credit. Yet most home owners are not aware of the various lending instruments and what their differences are. We will be delving into this subject matter further in the future.
