Mortgage : Home Loans : Refinance : Home Equity Loans

By Louie Latour

If you are considering using equity in your home to consolidate your debts there are a variety of programs to help you do this regardless of your credit rating. Invest the time necessary to research lenders and their loan offers and you can trade your equity for cash without losing your shirt. Here are tips to help you understand the risks involved when using your equity to consolidate higher interest debt.

Cashing out equity in your home can be an excellent means to consolidate your high interest consumer debt. Equity loans make good financial sense only if you plan on staying in your home for several years. One reason for this is that you will have to pay closing costs on the loan you take out and it will take you time to recoup the expense of borrowing. If you are refinancing your existing mortgage to take cash back, make sure your existing mortgage does not include a prepayment penalty. If you have this penalty you will have to pay it before refinancing your existing mortgage.

If refinancing is not an option for you, a second mortgage or home equity line of credit could meet your debt consolidation needs. Home equity lines of credit tend to be more expensive than second mortgages in the long term as these loans come with variable interest rates. If you are cashing out equity to pay off your bills, the ease of access a home equity line of credit provides might tempt you to spend more than you would if you had simply taken out a second mortgage.
