A debt consolidation mortgage lets you switch all your existing borrowing onto one loan, so you only need to make one monthly repayment to one lender as opposed to separate repayments with varying interest rates, terms and separate lenders.
High-interest debt from credit cards or loans makes it hard to manage your finances. But if you’re a homeowner, you can take advantage of your home’s equity. Combine the money you owe into a debt consolidation mortgage, home equity loan or line of credit.
Debt consolidation mortgage is a long-term loan that gives you the funds to pay off several debts at the same time. Once your other debts are paid off, it leaves you with just one loan to pay, rather than several.
To consolidate your debt, ask your lender for a loan equivalent to or beyond the total amount you owe. Consolidation is particularly useful for high-interest loans, such as credit cards. Usually, the lender settles all outstanding debt and all creditors are paid at once.
Home equity is the difference between the value of your home and the remaining mortgage balance. Your home equity increases as you pay off your mortgage and as your home goes up in value.
You can use your home equity to get a loan or line of credit, which, like a debt consolidation mortgage, combines your debts into one payment.
For home equity loans, the lender uses your home as security. Interest rates on equity lines of credit are lower compared to other loans. You get a higher credit limit, which is useful on higher interest loans. On a home equity line of credit (HELOC), you can get a maximum of 65% of your home’s appraised value. The more equity you have in your home, the more money you can borrow.
Generally, you pay interest on the money you use, not on your total credit limit. Interest rates fluctuate depending on market conditions, so your payments could go up. As long as you pay the minimum payments, you can make multiple payments without penalty. Fees apply, such as appraisals, title search, title insurance and legal fees.
