Keeping up with trends can
be a daunting task. I’ve put
together what you need to be
on the lookout for in 2020 to
be on trend. When it comes
to shapes, look for curves.
They are a soft way to add
interest to a space. Textiles
and wallpaper should feature
geometric shapes or bold yet
contemporary floral. Organic
furniture and accessories are
making a bigger presence
in stores and matte black
appliances are all the rage.

The experts at Tribecca Finance shed light on some common myths surrounding home equity loans.
MYTH #1 Home Equity Loans are only
available if you have owned your home for
a long time. Increases in local property
values, your purchase price, the size of
your initial down payment and upgrades
that have been made since the home
was purchased can help build equity into
your home quite quickly. If you bought
your home at a great price, in a popular
neighborhood or with a sizable down
payment, you may find that you have a
lot more equity in your home than you
realize!

MYTH 2 Home Equity Loans are only for
home improvements and repairs. While
these are common reasons for requesting
a Home Equity Loan, the equity in
your home can be used for any reason
you see fit. Some other common uses
include investing, starting a business,
consolidating debt, funding a major event
like a wedding, travel, tuition, making a
down payment on a cottage or rental home
purchase and so much more.
MYTH 3 - Home Equity Loans are hard to
get if you are self-employed. With Tribecca
Finance, the only criteria required to
secure a Home Equity Loan is equity in
your home and proof of ability to make
payments. Because your home acts as
security for the loan, this can be the perfect
solution for self-employed individuals
who have difficulty securing traditional
financing. - Tribbeca Finance, www.tribecca.ca
