Refinance & Consolidate Debt Mortgages

A consolidation mortgage allows you to combine all your high interest debt payments, including credit cards, car loans, unsecured loans, personal loans, student loans, medical bills, high mortgage interest rates, and more, into one single mortgage payment. This gives you the peace of mind of having one single payment at a far lower interest rate. Thus, resulting in a lower overall monthly payment and savings in your pocket. Lenders will allow you to refinance up to an 80% loan-to-value, which means that you can pull out of your home any equity that exceeds 20% of your home’s current value. A debt consolidation mortgage ultimately increases your monthly cash flow, giving you the additional credit to cover any financial emergencies you may face and kickstart your future savings.

Standard bank consolidation loans and other alternative options are available; however, these types of products have much higher interest rates than a conventional mortgage does. The repayment of a consolidation loan is also short-term resulting in higher payments. Because our refinance solutions allow you to consolidate your debts in with your mortgage at a lower rate over a longer period, we can ensure that you have the lowest possible monthly payment, resulting in more money in your pocket for you and your family.

The quick answer is no, you will not have to cancel any of your credit cards, lines of credit, or other trade lines. A good practice is to maintain your trade lines as open, utilize each trade line, and pay each down month over month. This good practice is how you will improve your credit score over time.

• There are many benefits to a consolidation mortgage. However, the biggest perk is you saving money!
• The way we save you money starts with a discovery call in getting to know a little more about your current situation and your future goals. A build-up of higher interest loans such as car loans, credit card loans, and unsecured loans all have interest costs in the 7% - 22% range and is the reason why consolidating these into your mortgage at a far lower interest rate will save you money.
• Your consolidation mortgage is done through a process of refinancing. When refinancing, we are often able to lower your current monthly interest rate, resulting in further savings to you and your family on your current mortgage payment as well.
• Other common reasons many benefit from a consolidation mortgage via refinancing is the additional option to access your equity for the purpose of investments such as purchasing a rental property or completing home renovations. Both options result in increased cash flow and/or equity growth.

• While completing a consolidation mortgage won’t always improve your credit score right away, over time you will likely see your score jump as you move forward with good practices.
• If you’re carrying a balance above 40% of any credit line month over month, this is where you will typically see your score drop. Where utilization of a trade line helps improve credit, over utilizing a trade line will have the opposite effect.
• By paying down these credit products, you will see a gradual boost in your score as you maintain a balance under that credit utilization threshold.

With debt consolidation mortgages, you will have the added pleasure of accessing additional funds should you want to tap into your equity. Lenders will lend up to 80% of your homes current value, less your current mortgage and accumulated debts that you wish you consolidate. You will have the opportunity to pull out additional funds above the debts you’re consolidating for many reasons. Some of those include for the purpose of home renovations, investments, buying a new car, purchasing a rental property, family expenses, and more.

• Consider consolidating that high interest debt into a low interest option like your mortgage.
• For every $400 in monthly debt payments that you consolidate, you will gain about $100,000 in additional mortgage financing PLUS lower your overall monthly payments.
• This strategy results in saving you thousands of dollars each month and can help you increase your total borrowing power.

  o Let’s look at a quick example:

  o $25,000 car loan

  o $750 monthly payments

• By consolidating this car loan into your mortgage, you will save $75,000 & about $350 on your total monthly payments.

Refinancing can involve some costs such as an appraisal fees, a potential pre-payment penalty, & a legal fee. Sometimes these fees may be waived based on your specific mortgage terms. It's important to speak with your mortgage advisor to help you break down these costs up against the projected savings of your next mortgage refinance.

Refinancing to consolidate mortgages involves combining multiple debts into a single mortgage loan. This process can include your existing mortgage, high-interest credit card balances, personal loans, car loans, and other unsecured debts. By consolidating these debts, you can often secure a lower interest rate compared to what you are currently paying on your various debts, which results in a single, more manageable monthly payment. This method not only simplifies financial management but can also significantly reduce your overall monthly financial burden, making it easier to stay on top of your finances and reduce stress.

Refinancing to consolidate mortgages offers several advantages. First, it can lower your monthly payments by securing a lower interest rate or extending the loan term. Second, it simplifies your finances by consolidating multiple debts into one payment, making it easier to manage. Third, it can improve your credit score by reducing your credit utilisation ratio and helping you make timely payments. Additionally, you can access your home equity, providing financial relief and potentially funding other needs such as home improvements or investments. Overall, this strategy offers a comprehensive solution to manage and reduce debt, enhance cash flow, and achieve financial stability.

You can consolidate various high-interest debts into your mortgage, including credit card balances, personal loans, car loans, and other unsecured debts. High-interest credit card debt is particularly beneficial to consolidate due to the typically high rates associated with credit cards. Personal loans and car loans, which often carry higher interest rates compared to mortgages, can also be included. By consolidating these debts into a single mortgage loan, you benefit from the lower interest rates typically associated with mortgages, thereby reducing the overall interest you pay over time and simplifying your debt management.

Refinancing to consolidate mortgages can positively impact your credit score over time. Initially, applying for refinancing may cause a slight dip in your credit score due to the credit inquiry and closing of existing accounts. However, in the long term, this strategy can improve your credit score by lowering your credit utilisation ratio—one of the significant factors in credit scoring. Additionally, having a single, manageable payment reduces the risk of missed or late payments, contributing positively to your payment history, which is another crucial component of your credit score. Over time, as you make consistent, on-time payments, your credit score is likely to improve.
