About this course

Home equity is one of the biggest financial assets most families own, but borrowing against it requires careful planning. This course explains what home equity is, how it grows, and how lenders measure it. You will compare home equity loans and home equity lines of credit, learn how to qualify and what terms matter, and study the risks of using your home as collateral. By the end, you will know how to borrow from your equity only when it makes sense for your goals.
