Pent Up Equity

Your home is a valuable asset. However, by simply owning your home, your equity is tied down and cannot be harnessed as a tool for further investment and/or revenue. This is pent-up equity. By releasing the equity - through the sale of your home - you are able to create new financial options with more immediate returns on investment so that your equity is no longer tied down to the ownership of your home.

*Pent Up Equity: Assumes a 7.5% return on the equity invested in a home (if reinvested), see example below:
Assumes a 7.5% return on $160,000 home less 10% closing costs.
$160,000 - $16,000 (10% closing cost) = $144,000
$144,000 * 7.5% return rate = $10,800
$10,800 annual return / 12 months = $900 per month pent up equity.
