<p>Homeowners all over the UK have seen the equity levels in their properties rise &#8211; even rocket &#8211; over recent years. However, your equity is of little use to you unless you sell your property, as it is otherwise tied up in your home and cannot be used. However, with a homeowner loan you can enjoy the opportunity to get at your equity without having to sell your home and move on, enabling you to unlock the money tied up in your home and use it to help finance your future rather than just sitting on it and struggling along financially.</p>
<p>With a homeowner loan you can use your equity to help finance your future, and this means anything from using the money towards an advanced education to improve your career prospects to paying for your dream wedding, paying for the trip of a lifetime, and more. Whatever your plans for the future, there is a good chance that you will need some form of finance to see them come to fruition and this is where a homeowner loan can really help.</p>
<p>When you take out a homeowner loan you can borrow against the equity that is tied up in your home. You can easily work out how much equity you have in your property, by finding out the market value of your home and then deducting any outstanding mortgage or secured loan balances. The figure that you are left with is your equity. Some lenders will allow you to borrow up to the full amount of your equity, whereas others may only allow you to borrow a percentage of your equity. Some may even allow you to borrow over and above your equity levels,</p>
<p>When you take out a homeowner loan you can enjoy an increased chance of getting the finance you need, which has become particularly important in the current financial climate, where credit conditions are very tight. Lenders have become increasingly wary about dishing out unsecured finance, but with homeowner loans the lender has more security, and therefore the risk to the lender is reduced. For the borrower this means a better chance of being able to get the finance required at an affordable rate.</p>
<p>Homeowners should be aware that their equity is a very valuable asset that could enable them to raise the finance that they need in the future. With a choice of lenders offering homeowner loans, you will not be short of choice when it comes to finding the right loan for your needs, and as a homeowner you can enjoy reputable rates of interest making your loan more affordable.</p></div>

<p>No one will argue that increasing the value of your home through home improvement projects  is a great idea. However, large home improvement projects can become quite expensive. Home  improvements lighten your wallet and empty your savings account. Careful planning and  thinking about all your financing options is necessary before beginning your home  improvement project. Below are a few tips for home improvement home equity loan financing to<br />
take into consideration.</p>
<p>Home improvement home equity loans are becoming one of the most popular loans when it comes  to home improvement. Because the interest is deductible from your taxes, It&#8217;s a viable tool  for borrowing money. Interest rates on home improvement home equity loans are usually lower  than the interest rates of other types of loans. Another good thing about home improvement  home equity loans is that they are fairly easy to get.</p>
<p>Home improvement home equity loans are great loans for home improvement because the project  can greatly increase the appraisal value of your home. This is a loan that is obtained to be  able to get additional investments for use in the future. Home improvement projects such as<br />
bathroom additions, bedrooms and home extensions can increase the value of a house. However,  some home improvement projects don’t really result in increasing the value of the house. The  construction of a swimming pool is one such project.</p>
<p>Take care when getting a home improvement home equity loan. Don&#8217;t forget that the collateral  that you are putting up against the loan is your own house. If you can&#8217;t make the payments  and make them on time, you could end up losing your home. You borrowed money for the sole  purpose of improving your house and losing your house would be a disastrous situation  indeed.</p>
<p>Many people use home improvement home equity loans for other reasons. The money is sometimes  spent finance other expenses such as vacations or everyday needs. Steady appreciation of  their houses is what people rely on to be able to pay for the debt. If the value of their  house depreciates at the end of any period, they are in huge financial hot water. This is  why home improvement home equity loans should be used for the improvement of your home  because the risks of depreciation are lower.</p>
<p>To avoid being indebted because of home improvement projects, these tips for home  improvement home equity loan financing should be kept in mind. Home improvements are a great  way to increase the value of your house but always use your head when getting home  improvement home equity loans to finance these projects.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="body">
<p>Real estate transactions are usually financed with two sources of capital &#8211; first mortgage financing and equity. But what do you do when there is a gap between the amount your bank is willing to lend in a first mortgage position and the amount of equity you want or can invest?</p>
<p>Too much equity and your returns go down. Not enough equity and the deal might not get done. While it is certainly possible to negotiate seller financing in the case of a property purchase, but what do you do if you are developing a piece of property and there is no seller?</p>
<p>As an example, consider a project where the mortgage lender will only lend 60% of the cost. If your return expectation were built around 20% or 25% equity contribution, you have a financing gap that needs to be filled.</p>
<p>Consider using a slice of capital known as mezzanine. Mezzanine is defined as &#8220;a low story between two others in a building, typically between the ground and first floors&#8221;. In this same context you can think of mezzanine financing as that capital that sits between the equity in a deal and the first mortgage.</p>
<p>Mezzanine financing is a debt instrument that is higher yielding &#8211; read more expensive &#8211; than first mortgage financing, but lowering yielding, cheaper, than equity. The reason that mezzanine is more expensive than traditional first mortgage financing is because the first mortgage lender has a preference over the junior capital (the mezzanine and equity) in the event of liquidation. Conversely, the mezzanine has a preference over the equity in the event of liquidation. Mezzanine financing can either be secured by a second mortgage or be unsecured.</p>
<p>The returns for mezzanine are generated through a combination of higher yielding coupon and a participation in the equity of the project. There is a balance in the ratio of the how the mezzanine return is generated. Part of the equation is based on the mindset of the mezzanine investor. Some investors are more equity oriented, and so will accept a lower coupon for more of the upside of a transaction. Other mezzanine investors are more debt oriented and will want to generate more of their return from the coupon.</p>
<p>If your mezzanine investor is more debt oriented, but there is a limit on the amount that can be paid on the mezzanine instrument, due either to the cash flow of the deal or covenants of the mortgage lender, you&#8217;ll have to partition the coupon into cash-pay and accrued payments. To the extent there are accrued payments, you should be aware that i) the accrued interest payments will have a preference to distributions to the equity &#8211; meaning that they get paid first; ii) since some of the payments are pushed out to the maturity date of the mezzanine, you will probably have to give up more equity than if all of the interest payments were paid currently; and iii) be careful in structuring the accrued payments to avoid, if you can, compounding of interest payments.</p>
<p>Institutional investors regularly participate in the mezzanine debt offering of real estate transactions, but these are typically large transactions. For smaller deals, look to tap into your network of individual investors, some of which may find the current yield potential secured position more interesting than the equity of a transaction. And, of course, when you go out raising capital, whether it&#8217;s debt of equity, you&#8217;ll want to present your investment opportunity with a private placement memorandum.</p></div>

<p>There is great similarity between capitalism and nature. In both instances it is to try to make the most with the least.</p>
<p>In nature a laying chicken&#8217;s job is to gestate an egg and deliver it into the nest. With proper care and nutrition the chicken will fabricate the egg and create the shell that will permit the yoke to be protected. The delivery which can be a daily affair requires a lot of stretching on the part of the chicken, to put it mildly. The egg attains the maximum size for the minimum space. The shell has to be firm enough to sustain the tremendous pressure of delivery but thin enough so if the chick would like to come out eventually it will not be so thick as to be unbreakable.</p>
<p>So much for nature. Now let&#8217;s get on with capitalism and real estate. If you are on the lookout to purchase a home in these trying times, great opportunities exists but you have to make sure that you will be able to invest enough equity in your house so you will protect yourself and give yourself breathing room in case something bad happens. Look back at the last 6 months and feel the pain for those who were not prudent and did not possess a strong enough shell.</p>
<p>Those past fabulous offers for buying a property with NO CASH DOWN are seen today as the height of irresponsibility. Only somebody that can prove that he is financially solid can afford to buy something with no down payment. If not, at the first whiff of financial uncertainty, the lending institutions will suddenly, and often without much notice, pounce on the unfortunate lender and demand their pound of flesh. Your home will be left unprotected and your financial shell that should also be your shield will not be solid enough to protect you.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>There are still ways to achieve the Great Australian Dream…</strong>For many, buying that home, whether it’s your first home or a subsequent one, feels just out of reach. For others, managing home loan repayments can sometimes become a struggle or simply just prevent you from doing some of the things you want to do.Now there is a new home loan available that can help you reduce your home loan repayments or even purchase a more expensive property than you may otherwise be able to afford. An Equity Finance Mortgage, (EFM) works in conjunction with a traditional home loan. Together they let you move some of the expense of a traditional home loan to later when you eventually sell your property.An EFM allows you to borrow up to 20% of the property value and you pay no interest and make no regular payments. <strong>Example: Jack and Julie want to purchase a home valued at $400,000.</strong><strong>TRADITIONAL HOME LOAN</strong>Property Value = $400,000<br />
Deposit = $20,000<br />
Loan Needed = $380,000<br />
Traditional Home Loan (95% of property Value) = $380,000<br />
Lenders Mortgage Insurance Premium = $7,417<br />
Monthly Repayments Required = $2,883<strong>ADDING AN EFM TO MAKE PURCHASING A HOME AFFORDABLE</strong>Property Value = $400,000<br />
Deposit = $20,000<br />
Loan Needed = $380,000<br />
EFM (20% of property value) = $80,000<br />
Traditional Home Loan (75% of property value) = $300,000<br />
Lenders Mortgage Insurance Premium = $4,652<br />
Monthly Repayments Required = $2,276<strong>Adding an EFM reduces the monthly repayments</strong><br />
While an EFM shares in the capital growth of your property when you eventually sell, it also takes its share in the loss if the property has depreciated, so you don’t end up wearing the total loss. <strong>An EFM allows people to</strong>Look in areas to buy where they may have originally thought out of their reach.<br />
Reduce their existing mortgage repayments to allow for other things, such as education, property renovation, holiday etc.<br />
<strong>AN EFM OVER TIME.</strong>In return for the benefits available to you when you take out an EFM, because no annual percentage rate is applicable to your loan (unless you are in default) and you do not make monthly interest repayments during the term of an EFM, you must agree to share any increase in the value of your property with the lender.<strong>AN INCREASE IN PROPERTY VALUE</strong>From the previous example: To repay their EFM in year 6, Jack and Julie must repay $93,900 on top of the $80,000 they originally borrowed. They have made a capital gain of $104,850 and have $190,646 to contribute towards their next property purchase. They have gone from having 5% equity in their home to 30%. In addition, they have saved $43,696 in repayments as compared to a traditional home loan over the same period.<strong>YEAR 6</strong>Property Value at Sale = $634,750<br />
Less Original Property Value = $400,000<br />
Capital Appreciation = $234,750<br />
Original EFM Amount (20%) = $80,000<br />
Plus Appreciation Payment (40%) = $93,900<br />
Total EFM Payment = $173,900<br />
Traditional Home Loan Repayment = $270,204<br />
60% of Appreciation for Jack and Julie = $140,850<br />
Jack and Julie’s equity after repaying the EFM and traditional home loan = $190,646Of course individual circumstance may depend on eligibility. We recommend talking to a qualified EFM consultant for full details about this product.</p>

<p>Private investors provide equity finance for business opportunity. They invest money into new and up-and-coming businesses; they have no preference in the industry sector that they invest in as they have a wide range of interests.</p>
<p>Private investors bring money to a business that is needed to move the business forward. As well as bringing in the required funding to get a business off the ground, a private investor will also provide your business with the skills and contacts that are needed to help your business progress.</p>
<p>2008 has, so far, not been extremely rewarding for private investors, which is why it is so important that you explore investments which are well positioned for a longer term favourable theme rather than those dependent on a highly unpredictable economic cycle.</p>
<p>With private investors some investors will invest passively, which means that after providing a company with the finance needed they will play a limited role within the company. In cases such as these the investors are usually professionals in medicine, law, real estate etc. Other investors however will want to be increasingly involved and will use their network and experience to drive your business. They will also want some type of control with business decisions.</p>
<p>When it comes to getting the help of an investor it is important to know that private investors have more confidence investing with people that they know so the fewer degrees of separation equals a greater chance of a deal being done. Before any deal is made it is important that you decide on the amount of capital needed as investors won&#8217;t be interested in guess work; they will want specific numbers.<span id="more-190"></span></p>
<p>The most common type of private investors are angel investors, otherwise known as business angels. These angel investors hold extremely high risk and require a very high return on investment. Due to the fact that a large percentage of angel investments are lost completely when early stage companies fail, private investors seek investments that have the potential to return at least 10 or more times their original investment within 5 years, through a defined exit strategy, such as plans for an initial public offering or an acquisition.</p>
<p>There are many different ways to describe private investors; they have many names attached to them such as venture capitalists and business angels. These private investors are often retired entrepreneurs or executives. They can provide your business with valuable management advice and important contacts. Private investors are wealthy individuals who invest in high growth business.</p>
<p>Private investors are growing to be one of the most popular ways of gaining business finance. This is making equity finance overtake debt funding as the best way of funding your business. Private investors are really worth looking into if you are hoping to start your own business. You do however have to ensure that you have your business plan wrote to the highest standard if you want to attract the help of private investor as they will use your business plan to see if your business has a high chance of being successful.</p></div>
