Your home equity is the current value of your home less what you still owe on it. For example, if your home is valued at $250,000 and your outstanding mortgage is $120,000, your equity is $130,000.

The equity you have built in your home can be a valuable source of financing. You can borrow against it to pay for your child’s tuition, purchase an investment portfolio, pay for large-scale home renovations, or buy an income property. In some instances, the interest may even be tax-deductible.
