If take out a debt consolidation loan secured through your home will that affect if we try to refinance mortg?

Of course. It is secured against your equity thus reducing it. It will not necessarily impede your ability to refinance but it will affect the terms and the rate. This should not mean that the debt consolidation loan should be considered bad. It may reduce your monthly expenses thus exerting a positive affect on a decision regarding a refinance. Find and consult a good financial adviser before making a decision on either or both loans.

I’m faced with the same dilemma. Here’s what I found. Lenders wont lend with a 30 day or more late on a CR.If you have a late and you need a refinance of some sort fast, go for a loan modification first. Get the interest, payment, or principal down as low and fixed as you can. When you get that, then go for Debt Reduction. You can settle your debt for about 50% of what you owe. No up front fees, lower payments each month. You will be debt free in 2-3 years or less, PLUS a Bonus. The company will rebuild your credit when you complete your program, normally a $1000 separate product for FREE. E-mail me today for more info. Use the email button below. The special ends July 1st
