Home equity investments are marketed in a variety of ways, all promising to provide flexibility in tapping home equity without the hassle of monthly payments. They say they serve homeowners by providing flexible, transparent, and fair home equity options that provide financial relief and freedom, without the burden of traditional debt.

Behind the sleek websites, however, are complex contracts that commit homeowners to signing away large portions of their home equity with just a few taps. While home equity investment providers promote the absence of monthly payments and cumbersome assessments, they also skirt a number of key protections for consumers like basic disclosures and evaluation of the homeowner's ability to pay what the contract requires of them. This enables HEI providers to target homeowners with distressed credit and/or low incomes and substantial equity in their homes and strip them of their single most potent asset for generational wealth-building - their home - of its value to them and their families.

This webinar will provide an overview of what home equity investments are and discussion of the dangers Hoosier homeowners are exposed to as long as this product remains unregulated in our state.

This webinar is presented in partnership with the Hoosier Housing Needs Coalition and Hoosiers for Responsible Lending with the support of experts from the National Consumer Law Center and Judith Fox, professor emeritus of Notre Dame. This program is generously supported by the Consumer Federation of America.
