Home equity is the “amount left after subtracting the unpaid debt balance(s) on the property from the property's current market value as assessed by a valuator. It increases as the debts are paid off and when the property's value is appreciating.”
The more equity you build, the more advantageous the asset will be. This is why paying a mortgage is typically a better financial option than paying rent, as the former enables you to make an investment and experience financial benefits down the road.
