In 2006, CMHC reported that 71% of all mortgage consumers refinanced before their mortgage term was up. Of those who refinanced, 29% did so to consolidate debt.
It's easy to see why. While credit card interest rates currently range from 10-20%, consolidating that debt into your mortgage can cut your interest costs in half and significantly improve your monthly cash flow!
The biggest question is whether you have equity in your home that would allow you to consolidate those debts.
To explore the benefits of debt consolidation, contact us today. We can do a quick analysis of your situation and show you a plan that highlights both the costs and bottom line benefits of consolidating your debt.
Obviously, the most attractive time to refinance is when your mortgage is coming due or you're selling one house and buying another. But depending on your situation, your interest savings can more than pay for any fees involved.
In many cases, debt consolidation not only reduces interest costs, it can also help put you back on the road to achieving your financial goals. Many clients' newly consolidated monthly payments are so much lower, they're able to start an investment plan for retirement or children's education.
Check out an example below - saves that client $781 a month - and then call us to explore your options.
