Why consolidate personal debts into existing home
loan?
Most people have several personal loans. This may
include: unsecured loans such as holiday, wedding or medical expenses,
and secured loans such as: car loans, boat loans, electrical equipment
or office equipment. In addition to this there may be credit cards
and store cards. All these loans have various interest rates which
are always higher than your home loan interest rate.
By consolidating all these loans and credit cards
into your home loan you will achieve a significant reduction in
your monthly repayments.
There are several benefits when consolidating your debts. Firstly,
you will only have one single loan instead of several loans, which
will make your debt
management much easier.
The more you owe in personal loans the more you
will save when you consolidate those loans into your mortgage. This
type of debt
consolidation is only possible if you have enough equity in
your home loan. By equity we mean that the value of your home is
more than your mortgage.
For example, if the value of your home is $300,000 and you owe $200,000
to the bank, your equity is $100,000. When consolidating your unsecured
loans into you home loan, the amount of the consolidation can not
exceed 90% of the value of the home. Using the example above, you
could consolidate $70,000 of your personal loans into your mortgage.
After debt consolidation you would only have a mortgage
of $270,000 and no personal loans or credit cards.
