Steve D Valentine shows how to use home equity to accelerate wealth. If you own two properties worth $500,000 and $1,000,000 and pull equity from the smaller one to invest in the larger, your combined appreciation jumps from $100,000 to $150,000 over ten years.

Questions this video answers

1% per year, equating to about 10% over 10 years.

One property at $500,000 and one at $1,000,000.

The $1,000,000 property increases by $100,000; the $500,000 property increases by $50,000.

A combined increase of $150,000 (versus $100,000 if equity had remained in one place).

Chapters

Let's just take a small side of this and say if the two houses increase 1% a year over the next 10 years, 10% appreciation, right? That's super low. Here's the difference. I own two properties. One is a $500,000 house, one is a million dollar home. The million dollar home, while this $500,000 is out, has also increased $100,000. The $500,000 I put over in New York has increased $50,000. So because I took the equity out of the property and I put it over here, I have increased 150. It would have only increased $100,000 based on the equity sitting. This is how we leverage real estate in a way to increase wealth and impact people.
