1. Debt Consolidation
Debt consolidation is the process that provides you the opportunity to use your existing equity to pay off your high-interest consumer debt, while borrowing that money (equity) at a far lower interest rate in the form of a mortgage. If your lender agrees to it, they will pay off your debts along with your previous mortgage and combine all your payments into a single monthly mortgage payment at a lower interest rate. Refinance rates tend to be far lower than other debts. For example:
-
A. Credit card debt can be at
21.99% Interest
-
B. Retail store debt could be above
27% interest
-
C. Car loan debt is between
5% to 7% interest
-
D. Line of credit is at
4% to 7% interest
