Watch the Recorded Webcast: Home Equity Investments — An Untapped Asset Class
Learn why HEIs are on the rise
In the face of substantial headwinds, the housing market remains remarkably resilient. Property values continue to increase across the country, and this has led to record levels of home equity.
Subsequently, an innovative opportunity for both investors and homeowners to access this equity has emerged in the form of home equity investments (HEIs), a burgeoning secondary market that:
- Offers similar value to second lien originations, without impacting disposable income
- Provides capital markets structured exposure to appreciation, minus the downsides of homeownership
- Features muted interest rate sensitivity that isn’t correlated to equities
- Serves as an inflation hedge
- Engages diverse pools of homeowners and more
In this previously recorded webcast, Jeff Glass, CEO of home equity investor Hometap, and Paul Fielding, COO of venture capital firm General Catalyst discuss the advantages of home equity investments — and how you can participate in this exciting asset class.
