Home equity as a source of a line of credit
If ever you are in need of borrowed funds, one practical and handy source of credit is a home equity


line. To begin with, a home equity credit line will offer you a large amount of cash with a


comparatively low rate of interest. It also gives you some tax benefits not available with other


kinds of loans.

HELOC and security for the loan
Home equity lines of credit (HELOC) will require property to be pledged as security for the loans.


Obviously, this kind of borrowing may jeopardize your home and you, if you default on a loan or even


if you are late with your monthly payments.

A loan with a balloon payment, that is a large payment at the end of the loan term, may result in


your borrowing more money to pay off the debt. It may also put your home at risk, if in the course


of the original loan you are deemed ineligible for refinancing. In the event that you sell your


home, the conditions of most loans will require you to pay off all debts on your credit line at that


time. While home equity loans provide you with ready cash quite easily, you tend to borrow more


freely as well.

Always compare HELOC rates from several lenders to assure that you get the lowest rate possible.
Alternatives to home equity line of credit and home equity loans
It is important to bear in mind that there are many other ways to borrow money besides home equity


credit lines. Second mortgage installment loans are one such viable option. Certainly second


mortgage plans place an extra future burden on your home or property, in terms of an added mortgage.


But the money lent is usually given as a lump sum, not as advances through continuous charges to a


card or checking account. Also, a second mortgage generally has a fixed rate and fixed monthly


payments.

Another option, preferred to borrowing money outright, is a credit line that does not use your


property as security. Under the right conditions, that also might be available to you with a credit


card, or an unsecured credit line allowing you to write checks whenever you need the funds.


Information about loans for specific items, such as auto purchases or tuition fees, is available at


your request.

For a Tax Attorney, Sean Neill wrote:

Depends on what the attorney’s role is - planning or litigation?

If litigation, ask for references from local accountants. Based on my experience as a Canadian CA (think CPA but tougher and with more prestige), we generally only recommend tax lawyers who we’ve had some experience in the past and/or who’ve had some reasonable success in court or pre-settlement negotiations with the tax authority.

As far as understanding a strategy, I’ve never encounter any strategy appropriate to my clients (small business owners - sub 20 million in assets) that I couldn’t understand. If you are dealing with a large enough accounting firm to have pure tax specialists (that is all they do), then my own view is that if they can’t understand the strategy, it likely isn’t appropriate for you. My main caveat is that if you are truly in the very wealthy category (>50+ million), then some strategies might be so outre to be incomprehensible yet save you money even after all of the transaction costs and additional risk. This doesn’t represent my client base, so I go with if the seller can’t explain it to me and satisfy me that it works and fits the client’s risk tolerance, I recommend my client not proceed.
