– Equity is the difference between what you still owe on your house (mortgage balance) and what your house is worth on the market now (appraised value).
– MO property located in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Jefferson County, Franklin County, Washington County, St. Francois County and Ste. Genevieve County, as well as St. Charles County. IL property located in St. Clair County, Madison County, Monroe County and Randolph County.

To calculate how much you can borrow, take your home’s current value and multiply it by 60%, 80% or 100%. Take that figure and subtract how much you still owe on your current mortgage. The result is your available equity.

For example: If your home is worth $100,000, then $80,000 will be 80% of it. Next, if your current mortgage balance is $50,000, you will subtract it from $80,000. The maximum amount you can borrow for 80% is $30,000.
