Wouldn’t
it be nice to make just one payment per month instead of several? Most
of us not only have a mortgage
payment. We have car payments, credit
card payments, student loans, etc.
If
you have been living in your home for a reasonable amount of time and
you have acquired enough equity, you might want to consider a debt
consolidation loan.
A
debt consolidation loan is using the equity
you have acquired in your home from monthly payments and appreciation
to pay off all of your outstanding debt, leaving you with one monthly
payment instead of several.
Consolidating
your debt has the potential to save you a lot of cash on a monthly basis
if you have accumulated a lot of debt.
The
interest rates on credit cards alone are considerably higher than that
which you would receive on a mortgage.
Another
benefit is the interest you pay on your debt consolidation loan is tax
deductible, unlike your other debt.
Consolidating
your debt is a great way to save money, but don’t just dive in.
Take the time to educate yourself about the mortgage industry and definitely
shop around for the best deal. The mortgage industry is very competitive,
so let them compete for your business.
