Home Equity Line For Real Estate Investing?

By Doc Schmyz

We all know by now that home owners have a hidden savings account...its called HOME EQUITY.

Home equity is the value of your home minus the remaining mortgage balance which is outstanding. While you live,and sleep in your home worrying about debts or wishing you could refurnish the living room you may be sitting on the cash that will grant your wishes.

Why Would You Want an Equity Line of Credit?

With a typical loan, which deposits a set amount of money in your account and begins charging you interest and payments at a fixed rate until repaid, a line of credit acts sort of like a credit card account. You do not need to pay interest on the full amount you have access to -- only on the amount you have used.

When using an equity line of credit (also known as a HELOC) it gives you greater flexibility with the least cost. Not only can you access the credit only as you need it,your monthly payments will reflect only the balanced used. Some lines of credit have only the interest as the minimum payment which can be helpful when finances are tight. In some case you even have an option of paying just the intrest on the amounts used for a specific span of time.

An equity line of credit is great when you don't have a large fixed amount to spend in one place that will take many years to repay and you want access to the credit without asking for a new loan when you have paid it back.

What Can I Use the Equity Line of Credit For?

While you can no doubt find numerous uses for your line of credit, here are samples of the more common reasons for obtaining an equity line of credit.

Consolidate Debts

Consolidate or wipe out some of your other bills/debts completely. Not only does this make your monthly breathing room a bit wider...but in the long run it will help your credit score and interest rates that are offered to you on other loans as well.

Take care of your "second" on your home.

Use your line of credit to pay off the existing mortgage for better interest rates.

Add On, Update or Go Away

You may use your line of credit for renovating, buying new furniture or a car, or taking a vacation with less interest payments than using a credit card or store card making it a wise choice for large purchases.

When Should You NOT Use a Line of Credit?

Before succumbing to what seems like 'easy money' it is important to evaluate the additional risk.

In some cases you can't use a HELOC to repay certain loan types. some types of student loans, small business loans, etc. You need to review the "target debt" you wish to use it on before taking out the equity line of credit.

Other items like cars and vacations may seem like a good idea to buy with your home equity line of credit, but with the ability to pay only the interest you may find the motivation to pay off the debt is lacking and end up owing for items that have lost their value or were consumable. Plan to pay off the debt quickly for the most advantage.

A Second mortgage (or refinancing) may or may not be a good idea depending on interest rates and your repayment terms. While lines of credit take advantage of current low interest rates you may find that your regular loans protect you better from fluctuating rates if you will not be paying the loan down in the next few years.

We all understand the freedom and relief that comes from having access to extra funds. For both those emergencies, as well as last minute purchases. However its important to understand the risks as well as benefits. - 23200

Using Hedging As A Forex Strategy

By James A Jackson

When you enter into forex trading, a term you will likely hear a lot is forex hedging. While a simple concept, the methods involved can be somewhat complicated. Forex hedging involves the process of buying and selling a currency pair in order to protect yourself from a change in the exchange prices.

By practicing a method of forex hedging, a trader can protect the position of a currency pair from the risk of a fluctuating rate. There are several diverse techniques and methods that traders use to help secure their trading position. These include complicated hedging, multiple currency pairs, and forex options.

The hedging strategy is used by Forex traders in one of two ways. When a trader is facing a negative price on a currency pair, they can predict that a loss may be on its way. Let's say the negative price is on a dollar to euros currency pair. To offset the potential loss on that pair the trader sells a dollar to yen currency pair.

This will of course be based on the position of the dollar within those two pairs, but the idea is to offset potential loss. By using the positions of the dollar, long and short, this is a hedging strategy.

Investors can also use a hedging strategy to differ the interest rate between two Forex brokers. The scenario look like this: one adviser charges interest at the end of the day, the other broker does not. The trader will open a position on the exact same currency pair with both of them.

When the end of the day comes around, if the currency has not performed very well, the trader will pay interest to one broker and earn the rollover interest from the other to offset. But if the currency pair does well, then the trader will profit from both brokers.

In this way, the trader is protecting himself from losing a lot of money in interest when his currency pairs aren't doing well. Forex hedging should only be used experienced traders since it involves a detailed understanding of the fluctuations and changes in the market. - 23200

What Repairs To Do First When Rehabilitating Homes

By Gavin J. King

Taking the first step, they say, is always the heaviest. Once off the ground however, the progress should be rapid and well planned. In the home rehabbing business, this seems to be common difficulty. Many times the most glaring issue that is wrong with a home is not easily discovered. Rehabbing houses could be a headache if you don't know where to start. To assist you in discovering your best plan of attack I have included a brief list of typical issues you may want to address first.

The first thing you need to take care of is not always the most obvious. Finding a good place to start will help you keep your rehab project proceeding in the right direction. To save you from all that stress, here's a lose list of what repairs you must do first when rehabbing houses.

First thing you should do is create a time-line for repairs. If you have a contractor, consult him and set a deadline for repairs. Can you get this or that done is a set period of time? Ten to twelve days? After you establish these time lines then you can work hard to meet that deadline and continue through each one.

Now, it is time for the demolition. This is the phase that you remove all the old, antiquated parts or materials in the home. This can be as extensive as removing a wall or completely gutting a kitchen. This can be as simple as carpets and padding to removing lathe and plaster. All appliances must be taken out of the property. There are plenty of refurbish stores that will gladly resell your materials to people who may need them. The proceeds will go to your repair budget. Repainting an old home also brings a new vitality to any old home.

Now, on to the bigger types of issues. Your projects will never have a budget big enough to anticipate all the repairs you want to do. Keeping a list that tracks your most important repairs and accounts for them first will help you stay on budget. Anything structural must be taken care of first and by a licensed professional. After that you focus on the obvious cosmetic repairs. Anything to do with any substance or material that directly support the roof is considered a structural repair.

The HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) will be carried out next. Plumbing and electrical systems must be updated if necessary. Completing your finish work is where you want to end up the process. Cosmetic changes may include updating light fixtures, new mop boards and any repainting that needs to be done. - 23200
