How it works

Also known as Home Equity Mortgage. Chances are the value of your home has increased since you bought it. At Alpine Credits, a home equity loan can get you access to money based on the increased market value.
To calculate how much you can borrow with a home equity loan simply use this equation:

PRESENT VALUE OF YOUR HOME – THE AMOUNT OWING ON YOUR MORTGAGE = HOME EQUITY

For example:

If you bought a home 20 years ago for $200,000 and have paid $150,000 of your first mortgage you now only have $50,000 remaining to pay.

Over the 20 years you have owned the home, its value has increased giving it a present day value of $750,000. By taking the present day value and subtracting the amount remaining on your mortgage you will get your home’s equity.

$750,000 (PRESENT DAY VALUE) – $50,000 (AMOUNT REMAINING ON INITIAL MORTGAGE) = $700,000

With an Alpine Credits home equity loan, you could have access to a portion of your home’s equity within a week.

You can use a home equity loan for anything. Common uses include debt consolidation (paying off high-interest credit card debt), home improvements, paying for an education expenses/tuition, investments, starting a business or growing an existing business, taking a dream vacation or providing you with additional cash flow for any temporary situation that may arise. You can also use a home equity loan to pay for medical emergencies or as a business investment to buy another piece of property.

Use the following equation to calculate how much home equity you have.

VALUE OF YOUR HOME – AMOUNT OWING ON YOUR MORTGAGE = HOME EQUITY

There are numerous reasons why borrowers may choose to refinance the loans they already have. Some of these include:

1. Lowering the monthly payment
2. Lowering the interest rate
3. Switching from an variable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage or, vice-versa
4. To refinance for a higher amount in order to pay off other debts or get cash
5. To change the remaining term of the loan
6. An existing lender may choose not to renew the existing loan and a new lender is needed
