Abstract

When dentist Dr. Daniel Fink bought his house in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, in 2003, he paid about $650,000. Three years later, noting an appreciable growth in his dental business, Fink decided to refinance his home mortgage and use the equity from his house to acquire a new office space and pay for an assortment of upgrades and improvements. In 2006, his house was appraised for $875,000, which gave him plenty of money to create the perfect facility for his thriving dental practice.
