When making a major purchase, using a home equity loan is an alternative to financing offers often provided by a seller or manufacturer. In such cases, buyers often have the option of taking the seller-provided financing offer or a rebate on their purchase. Taking the rebate and using the equity in your home may provide a better alternative to the seller financing.
