Consolidation & Credit Card Debt
If you have credit card bills, personal loans, car
loans, or student loans in addition to a home mortgage, chances
are that you’re paying more than you have to every month—and
interest rates may be killing you financially.
By a debt consolidation home loan you can make one manageable
monthly payment and lower your combined interest rate to a
fraction of those high-interest-rate credit cards. By paying
off other debts with a mortgage loan, you may be able to take
an income tax deduction for the interest paid on that mortgage
loan.
Two mortgages also can be consolidated; if you have both
a first and a second mortgage on your home, you may wish to
consolidate those loans into one convenient monthly payment.
You’ve already invested in your home once; maybe it’s time
to review your investment. With a refinance loan, you generally
can reduce your monthly payments—this can leave you with more
disposable income to save for your future, allow you to pay
off existing debt, or give you a lump sum of cash to invest
back into your home or another high yielding security.
Lower Your Interest Rate Your home also can pay for its own
improvements. Take out a second mortgage and you’ll have the
cash required to paint, buy new furniture, remodel your kitchen,
or even build an addition. use the cash to buy a new car—unlike
an auto loan, the interest you pay on the home equity loan
may be tax-deductible
What is a second mortgage?
A second mortgage is a loan secured by your home, other than
the primary loan that was borrowed to pay for your home. A
second mortgage, also known as a home equity loan, is often
used to convert home equity into cash for all of the aforementioned
purposes.
