written by Attorney Bronchick A home equity line of credit (“HELOC”) can be an excellent financing tool, if it is used properly. A HELOC is basically a credit card secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on your property. You only pay interest on the amounts you borrow on the HELOC.

In most cases, it will be a second lien on your property. written by Attorney Bronchick If you are low on cash or have cash and are low on time, a partnership or equity–sharing arrangement may be for you.

What about cars, boats, mobile homes and other items that are registered and recorded in public places? Good news... there is a special trust just for that purpose! written by Attorney Bronchick If you read the news media, you’ll see that there’s a proliferation of new real estate gurus and seminars coming around to feed the endless demand for real estate these days.
