Some people are a little confused about exactly what an equity line is. Most equity lines are secured by a primary residence and can be called a variety of things. In the real estate finance industry they are called most commonly Home Equity Lines of Credit, or HELOCs (pronounced "he-locks"). Secured means that the HELOC has a recorded deed of trust against your property just like your regular mortgage. They may be in first or second lien position, may be secured against a second home or rental property. I say some people are a little confused because many times clients will ask me if they get to keep their equity line after they have sold their property. Because the loan is secured against the property the answer is simply "no," since it will be closed upon the sale just like any regul...
I have a home equity line with a variable rate that is about 8 percent now. The balance is down to about $33,000. I have several credit cards with high limits, which are advertising low fixed rates until debt is paid. Should I move the debt into a couple of those?

Credit card companies read the papers, too, and they have responded with fixed, low-interest-for- the-life-of-the-loan products. I want you to focus on the definition of "fixed," before you act.

Ben Bernanke's recent announcement that the Fed will keep interest rates near zero for at least two more years means that CDs and other interest-bearing investments will continue to offer meager returns. If you need more retirement income you might want to consider a reverse mortgage. A reverse mortgage is a loan against the equity in the home that provides you with tax-free cash payments. You can get a stream of payments for a term or for life, a lump sum payment, a line of credit or a combination of these.
