Simplify your finances and take control of your debt
How does mortgage debt consolidation work?
This involves using the equity in your home to pay off other debts. This typically would mean taking out a new mortgage loan that is larger than your current mortgage balance and using the additional funds to pay off other debts such as credit card balances, car finance, or personal loans.
Once your debts have been paid off, you will have just one monthly payment on your new mortgage loan to repay each month.
Why consider debt consolidation?
The main advantage of using a mortgage to consolidate debt is that mortgage interest rates are typically lower than rates for other types of debt, such as credit cards. By consolidating high-interest debt into a lower-interest mortgage, you may be able to save money on interest charges and reduce your monthly payments.
Another advantage is it can simplify your finances, reduce your monthly payments, and improve your credit score.
Is mortgage debt consolidation right for you?
Mortgage debt consolidation has many advantages, but it is important to know some of its disadvantages.
An increase in total interest paid: Although mortgage interest rates may be lower than other types of debt, consolidating debts into a mortgage loan can increase the overall amount of interest paid over time.
Extended payment term: The mortgage payment term is often extended, which means you will pay off the debt for a longer period of time.
Risk of losing your home: If you cannot make your mortgage payments.
