08/11/2009 You've Worked Hard to Build Equity in Your Home. That Equity Should Work Hard For You. If you own a home, using the equity you have built up may be one of the most cost-effective ways to lower your borrowing costs. In many cases, home equity products can offer you a lower interest rate as compared to other types of loans while providing you with access to credit for unexpected expenses or home improvement projects.
