Advice on Getting a Home Equity Loan to Consolidate Debt

Posted on: 14th Oct, 2009 10:47 am
Is it wise to do a home equity 15 yr loan for $20,000 in credit cards; $15,000 2nd mortgage balance; and $20,000 in home repairs? That would bring everything current, repairs would be completed; interest deductible, and I would keep 1 credit card for emergencies. Thank you.
i can not tell if you are talking about getting a first mortgage or a second mortgage.

you ask about getting a home equity loan and that usually means to mortgage people a second mortgage. however, many borrowers use the term home equity loan because they are taking cash out of the property and they are really talking about a new first mortgage.

regardless of whether you are talking about a new first mortagge or a new second mortgage, yes, it would be beneficial, especially right now while rates are so low.
