Home equity to buy new home

Ryan Trexler

Hello BP,

My wife and I have about 80K of equity in our home. We are also looking to upgrade but would like to keep the current home as a potential rental. 

What is the best way to take the 80K of equity and put it towards the purchase of a new home? Would you also refinance the current home?

Thanks,

Ryan

Just remember new mortgage debt has awesome rates, however home prices are typically climbing because of that.
