If you want to speak to the best professional, in my opinion, in the area about using trapped equity to finance the purchase of additional rental property, I would contact Joe Massey at Castle and Cooke Mortgage in Denver.Until you do that look at this simple example of how using that equity can help you build wealth:Hypothetical Situation AnalysisCurrent home purchased 10 years ago for $500,000 with 20% down.Current Property Value $800,000Original loan amount $400,000 Interest rate 5%Total Monthly payment, excluding escrows$2,147Current Loan Amount $325,000Equity ($800,000 - $325,000) $475,000If you were to refinance your home at its current value with a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, two things would happen.

To be quite truthful with you, I don't like hearing about Detroit, but my husband listens to the radio everyday about Detroit, so I listen to it when I'm cooking dinner.
