Debt Consolidation 101: What You Need to Know

Why Debt Consolidation May Be Right For You

You may be eligible to combine all of your high-interest debt, including personal lines of credit, auto loans and debt from credit cards into one low rate mortgage loan.

By putting all of this consolidated debt together in a secured loan supported by the equity in your property, you may be eligible to access interest rates that are lower than what a personal line of credit would otherwise allow.

This is a helpful process for those individuals who are unable to make their monthly payments on time. One reduced per month is all that is required for debt consolidation.

3 Popular Reasons Canadians Consolidate Debt

Three of the most common reasons that individuals in Canada choose to consolidate their debt include:

  • Decreasing your monthly payments
  • Improving your credit score
  • Lowering your interest rate

Whatever you’re interested in, make sure you have all the facts up front before deciding to move forward with steps to consolidate debt.

3 Ways to Combine Debt Consolidation with Your Mortgage

There are three ways that you can consolidate your debt into one mortgage. This is known as:

  • A home equity line of credit
  • Refinance
  • A second mortgage

A home equity line of credit is a line of credit supported by your home. It enables you to access up to 80% of the home’s value.

Refinancing allows you to get up to 80% of your home’s value by breaking your mortgage term early.

Finally, a second mortgage frequently comes with a very high interest rate, so you should always do all of your research in advance to determine whether this is right for you.
