Home Equity Lending: Making A House Call

The market niche is perhaps not overall as healthy as it once was, given that home price appreciation has begun to flag in some regions. But there remain opportunities for those who operate carefully and strategically on a case-by-case basis.

Consumers continue to face unprecedented debt levels and these loans, used properly, can be a helpful tool to managing their finances.

In this Special Report, we provide a professional opinion about the future health of home prices in various metropolitan areas.

We also share advice from a debt management expert on which types of borrowers he thinks are best suited for which types of home equity loans.

In addition, we provide other market participants' opinions and assessments of the market's health.

The pages that follow also contain information indicating that at least one lender in the niche has been cutting staff - and information indicating that another company in the niche has been hiring them.

Read on to learn more about this portion of the mortgage market and some of the trends those who work in it have observed.
