Short Term Loan Secured By the Equity in Your Home

Short Term Loans Secured by Equity of Home

I was at a meeting this week at Sakonnet Bay Manor, which is an assisted living facility in Tiverton, Rhode Island.

One thing we talked about that I was not familiar with, was a new short term equity line of credit that could be available to home owners, in a couple of days.

Such a loan could be utilized in the following example:

Mom lives alone and she owns a home with no mortgage. She suffers a fall and is likely not to return to the home because she should no longer live on her own. She and the family decide she would be more comfortable in an assisted living facility. She does not have the liquid assets to pay for the facility, but she does have all the equity available in her home. Since the market is not prime for a sale, or repairs need to be made to the house before it could be sold and mom does not have the funds, this type of loan could be helpful. With the funds, mom could get into the facility quickly, and the loan is paid from the equity from the house.

If this sounds tempting, please contact our office 401-841-5700 for more information, and we can put you in touch with a broker. This type of loan may not be for everyone, but it could be an option for you or a family member that should at least be considered.
