to Consolidate Your Debt Did

There
are a few different ways to access the equity in your home. You can refinance
and take cash out. With today's current interest rates this is an attractive option
(especially if you're paying more than 7.5% interest on your current mortgage).
Refinancing with a new mortgage loan would allow you to drop your payment and
pull money out with no money "out of pocket." For
example, If your home is currently worth $250,000 and you owe $200,000, you
could still access up to $50,000 worth of home equity at a low fixed interest
rate, and because your LTV is still under 100%. A
debt consolidation loan does not reduce the amount you owe. Instead, it reduces
the interest rate you pay. You will still need to keep your debt low, and if you
have extra money, save it, invest it, or pay off your mortgage loan early. If
you already have a great rate and just want to utilize some of the equity in your
home, get a home equity loan and borrow only the amount you need to access. Typically
interest rates for a home equity loan are a little higher than your first mortgage
because it is higher risk for the lender. Your
#1-Refinance.com lender can help you decide what home loan type is best for you.
We recommend if you have additional questions, discuss your situation with your
financial or tax advisor to determine if a debt consolidation loan is right for
you.
