Re-Financing To Consolidate Debt

By Jantje Rostels

Basically what happens when you consolidate your debts with a refinancing loan on your home, you get a lower interest rate on a loan big enough to repay the existing balance on your home and your other forms of existing debt.

While this subject may sound pretty complex, it can be quite simple if explained the right way. When consolidating debt ask yourself whether you will have to pay an even higher amount in the long run by refinancing and what exactly will happen to your overall financial situation. How is it all going to effect your finances?

The things discussed will be simplified with this information. Deb consolidation doesnt has to be complex. There are some important questions you should ask yourself when you are trying to investigate if you should refinance. One is, are you going to pay more in the long run by refinancing and the other is, will your financial situation improve by refinancing.

The term consolidating a loan may be somewhat misleading. Because consolidating means putting together, uniting. Actually when consolidating a loan you are refinancing these loans. In the future this means paying for this one consolidated loan.

To consolidate is to unite, to put together, to make one out of more. When refinancing, the existing debts are refinanced by this one consolidation loan. So, you are refinancing, repaying through the consolidated loan.

These multiple debts still remain the same amount when consolidated. Usually the interest rate on a home loan can be lower than they are on your existing debts.

The mortgage company that consolidated the loan has actually put all these former debts into one, this can include debts on credit cards, on cars, or on school loans. When consolidated, the consolidated mortgage loan is the only thing you have to worry about. This means you'll end up with a lot less administration.

Be aware that your new loan has to meet the conditions of the applicable loan. - 29970
