Pay
off your credit cards
If you have
credit card or other consumer loans, it is often cheaper to
consolidate these expensive loans with your mortgage.
Credit card
interest rates are usually much higher than mortgage interest rates.
And, the interest on your mortgage is tax deductible, while the
interest on your credit card is not.
If you have
enough home equity, you may be able to pay off your pricey credit card
debts and save money.
Refinance vs. home equity loan
Generally,
there are two ways to use your home equity to borrow money. You can
either refinance with a new mortgage that is larger than your
remaining balance (a cash-out refinance) or get a home equity loan
A cash-out
refinance is generally cheaper, but a home equity loan will usually
let you borrow more.
