early March, the banks start rolling out their Spring market campaign of

Over the next few weeks we'll see a variety of new products and this 4 e C5 f. E" E* T' L; ^
year the early theme I'm seeing is banks getting more creative in an
' W* k: M( o, N. qeffort to help you borrow more money. This is partly in response to growing 5 c3 J/ W7 T; T' v$ w
concerns about the potential of rising rates.

In an effort to take the focus away from rates, look for two lenders to
/ k4 J2 ]! s1 q5 j% S! Qcome out with 'True Equity' programs that will allow home buyers the ' p h( |: f6 \0 \. N: z
ability to borrow up to 75% of the equity in their homes without having

5 o; C! h$ t( Y- Q8 Gavailable to self-employed borrowers. Income earners had to either put

on the equity and the rates will be fully discounted.1 s" W9 D" h3 G2 o/ r
Another product to keep an eye on is more lenders who will be combining
' }# s3 y. A, \( vthe mortgage with the line of credit and creating a 'Global borrowing

And speaking about investors, banks are starting to recognize the
