What’s a safe way to use my home equity to make money?

lieinourpig asked:


I own my home and don’t have a mortgage payment. Can I get a home equity loan, and then invest that money into a safe investment (such as a bond mutual fund) and pocket the difference each month, assuming that the fund’s monthly distribution is higher than the mortgage payment? Or, is there some other “scheme” I can set up that would be similar? I don’t want to use the home equity loan money to start a business or buy real estate or anything like that - too risky. I’d prefer to stick with things like mutual funds. I just got to thinking that my home is just sitting here, not really going up in value (in my area, anyway), and that money isn’t doing anything for me. Surely there has to be a safe way to let it make me a little money, right?
