Debt Consolidation Through Refinancing

Consolidate Debt by Refinancing

Debt consolidation through a cash-out refinance mortgage involves taking out a new loan to pay off other loans, such as student loans, auto loans, personal loans, medical bills, credit card balances, or other credit accounts. The interest rate on some of these other types of debt may be very high, so a cash-out refinance may alleviate some of that financial burden.

Benefits

Consolidating debt can have several financial benefits:

Lower Interest Rate – If you have equity in your home, tapping into it with a cash-out refinance may enable you to pay off high-interest loans and credit accounts, and refinancing may leave you with a lower interest rate with your refinanced mortgage terms.
Lower Monthly Payment – With a lower rate, your monthly savings might be significant when compared to repaying each loan individually over time.

Qualification

Qualifying for a Debt Consolidation Refinance

In order to qualify for a debt consolidation loan that will enable you to pay off your other debts, you must have enough equity in your home to be eligible to borrow that large sum. Some loan programs limit the amount you can borrow to 80% of the home’s value, while others will allow up to 95% or more. The current value of the property will be determined by an appraisal conducted by a licensed, third party appraiser.

In addition, credit history and score, income, other debts, current assets, and other factors will be examined depending on the specific requirements of the loan program applied for.
