Debt Consolidation
Debt consolidation is when you use the equity in your home to pay off other
outstanding debt, such as credit cards, personal loans etc. This can be done by
refinancing your first mortgage or doing a second mortgage on your home.
In 2006, because of increased minimum monthly payment amounts by credit
card companies, debt consolidation will become a solution to many American
families' finances.
Debt consolidation often gives you tax advantages. Consult your CPA to discuss
the tax benefits.
There are several ways you can use the equity in your home to consolidate your
debts. You can do a cash out refinance and use the cash to payoff your high
interest rate debt. At times your mortgage payment may not increase at all if you
have had your current mortgage for a long period of time or if your interest rate is
high and you are able to reduce it with the new loan. Another way to consolidate
your debt is to do a home equity line of credit or second mortgage.
Many people really don't realize that putting all the outstanding debt in to one loan
can save you hundreds of dollars a month. It also can be a tax deduction now
since you can write off the interest you pay on your mortgage.
One of the big advantages of refinancing your mortgage for debt consolidation is
that in most cases you convert non tax deductible consumer debt interest into
deductible mortgage interest. For precise tax benefits however you will need to
consult a tax professional.
Even though tapping into the unused portion of the equity of a property is a good
means to restructuring a home owner's debt, using the proceeds from a Debt
Consolidation mortgage to pay off other debts effectively turns those unsecured
debts into one single debt that is secured by the property. While creditors of
unsecured debts cannot foreclose on the home owner's property, a mortgagee
can. Therefore, homeowners who are deep in debt and have a history of
mismanaging their finances should consult a licensed financial planner before
getting a Debt Consolidation loan.
If you use debt consolidation correctly you can actually pay of your mortgage on
your home and all of your debts faster. For instance: If you save $500 dollars a
month by consolidating your debts into one loan on your home here's what you
do. Take half the money and save it for a nice vacation. Take the other half of that
money and apply it back to the principle each month. You can pay off a $100,000
30 year mortgage with a 7% interest rate in 14.5 years.
