HOW TO CASH IN ON THE RISING COST OF HOUSING
A favorite pastime of home-
owners these days is discus-
sing the skyrocketing cost
of tiousing. and congratulat-
ing each other on buying a
home when they did.
And they should be con-
gratulated. Housing costs are
going up continually...in
some areas as much as $5.(XX)
to S10.000 a year! Nearly
everywhere, homes are worth
more today than they were
yesterday.
But there is always one
skeptic in a crowd who con-
tends that although your
house is worth more now
than when you bought it, so
what? It would cost you much
more to buy another one so
you're really not gaining in
the game of inflation.
MAKE INFLATION
WORK FOR YOU
But you are gaining in the
game of inflation. And if you
make it work for you. you
can gaift even faster.
The fact is that the dif-
ference between what you
now owe on your house and

what it is worth on today's
market (it's called equity)
gives you a great deal of bor-
rowing power.
Depending upon how
much equity you have in the
house, you could have e-
nough to finance an addition
such as a family room, patio
or extra bedroom, to modem
ize your kitchen, or put in a
tennis court or swimming
pool.
There are two good rea-
sons for tapping this equity,
according to GECC Finan-
cial Services, the consumer
lending arm of the General
Electric Company. First, the
addition will add even more
to the value of your house.
and secondly, you'll be buy-
ingat today's dollars and pay-
ing off in devalued dollars,
as inflation continues to
climb.
SHOP CAREFULLY
However, homeowners
wishing to capitalize on their
equity should shop careful-
ly, advises GECC. Second
mortgage lenders are not
always regulated, and the
unsophisticated borrower
could he saddled with un-
expected charges and interest
rates,if he is not careful.
