I think what it means is this:
You need $20,000 cash, but don't have it, but have a house with a lot of equity. A 30-yr fixed at around 6% costs around $6 per thousand. So you could have $20,000 in cash and only have to pay around $120 per month. Of course these are rough numbers, but I think that's the point being made.
