If you’re currently a homeowner, there’s a good chance you may already have EQUITY available to you.  Data from the Federal Reserve revealed that homeowner equity jumped 10.3% from 1st quarter 2017 to lst quarter 2018 – with a 3.5% increase in the 1st quarter of 2018 alone.  So in 2007 you have a house worth $222,850, then in 2017 it is worth $249,600.  Of course, when prices fall, the opposite is true, but now JUST ENJOY the uptick.
