It’s January 2012, fixed mortgage rates are at historical lows…a 5 year fixed rate can be had for 3.15% and even 2.99%. Does it make sense to refinance your mortgage and consolidate that car loan, student loan, credit card, line of credit or other debt? The answer is an overwhelming YES!
Compounding interest rates are a killer. If you have $20,000 or more in non-mortgaged debt, then you should consider consolidation. Especially with today’s record low interest rates.
Here’s an example of one situation:
Rate Balance Payment
Mortgage 3.99% $300,000 $1,349
Car loan 6.00% $ 24,000 $ 563
Credit Cards 18% $ 10,000 $ 300
Line of credit 7% $10,000 $ 300
mortgage penalty $ 2,993 $ 0
Totals $346,993 $2,512
And here’s what the new situation could look like after consolidating their debts:
Rate Balance Payment
Mortgage 3.15% $346,993 $1,487
Car loan $0 $0
Credit Cards $0 $0
Line of credit $0 $0
mortgage penalty $0 $0
Totals 3.15 $346,993 $1,487
So in this example, we are reducing the monthly payment by $1,025.00. Let’s take some of that money and put it towards your new mortgage, if you took $500/mth and put this towards your mortgage for 5 years, you would reduce your amortization to 10 years and 7 months. Clearly, this is worth breaking the mortgage and paying the penalty.
(keep in mind, the penalty could be higher if the lender uses an Interest Rate Differential to calculate the penalty… Always speak with your Mortgage Lender to ensure the penalty is accurate).
