Keith examines the opportunity cost of paying off a mortgage early and why homeowners with substantial equity may still feel short on cash, alongside observations on Manhattan's distinctive residential towers. He speaks with Michael Gifford of Splitero, a mortgage and real estate executive, about home equity investments (HEIs) and how they exchange an upfront payment for a share of a home's future value. They compare HEIs with HELOCs and cash-out refinancing, including differences in qualification, monthly payments, fees, and repayment timelines. Keith and Michael discuss a practical look at how homeowners might weigh access to equity against the costs and trade-offs of sharing future appreciation.
