Equity Building

Your home is working for you every month

Every mortgage payment you make builds equity — that's the difference between what your home is worth and what you owe on it. Over time, this becomes real wealth. The sooner you understand how much equity you've built, the sooner you can think clearly about your options: staying put, tapping into that equity for a major expense, or refinancing into better terms if the market shifts in your favor. Knowing your equity position also helps you plan ahead, whether that's preparing for maintenance, thinking about upgrades, or positioning yourself for life changes down the road.

Let's talk about where you stand with your home's equity and what doors that opens for you.

Tip of the Week

Refinancing resets your amortization clock. If you're 10 years into a 30-year loan, consider a shorter term to avoid paying more total interest.

Tips for Homeowners

Co-Signing a Mortgage: What You're Really Agreeing To

1.

Co-signing makes you equally responsible for the debt. If the primary borrower misses payments, your credit score takes the same hit and the lender can pursue you for the full balance.

2.

The co-signed mortgage debt appears on your credit report and counts toward your DTI. This can limit your ability to qualify for your own financing until the loan is paid off or refinanced out of your name.

3.

There's no automatic way to remove yourself as a co-signer — the primary borrower must refinance the loan in their name alone. Get this understanding in writing before you sign.
