Debt
Consolidation
Debt
consolidation,
also
referred
to as
'refinancing',
is quite
common
these
days.
It's not
because
more
people
are in
debt,
it's
simply
because
it just
makes
sense.
Pulling
equity
out of
your
home at
today's
great
interest
rates
can save
you as
much as
17% a
month
in
interest
charges!
The
valuable
equity
that you
may
already
have in
your
home can
be used
to
consolidate
high
interest
credit
card
debts,
credit
lines
and even
car
loans.
In
the
past,
for a
client
to
consolidate
credit
card and
loan
debts, a
second
mortgage
was your
only
choice.
Did you
know
second
mortgage
rates
can be
as high
as 19%?
Today,
you can
top up
your
existing
mortgage
to
incorporate
those
debts
and
remove
the debt
load
without
having
to take
out a
second
mortgage.
Why
would
you
choose
that
expensive
avenue
over
refinancing
at
today's
5-year
rate..
The Mortgage Centre
will
guide
you
through
a
painless
process
to get
you on
the road
to a
debt
free
lifestyle.

The Mortgage Centre
helps
many
clients
every
month,
leverage
the
equity
in their
home to
consolidate
the debt
and
lower
their
overall
payments.
The
following
example
was the
case for
one of
our
clients.
It
clearly
shows
the
money
they
were
able to
save
each
month.

As
this
example
shows,
we were
able to
refinance
their
existing
mortgage
before
the term
was up
and get
them the
money
they
needed
to pay
off all
debts
and
lower
their
monthly
mortgage
payment
by $122.52.
So they
saved a
total of
$522.52
per
month
and have
been
able to
put that
extra
money
into an
investment
account
for
their
retirement.

Your
next
step...
In
order to
take
advantage
of this
program you
must be
a home
owner
and have
at least
10%
equity
or more
in your
home. If

The
best way
to
determine
whether debt
consolidation
is the
right
avenue
for you
is by
calculating
what
your
monthly
debt
payments
total.
Include
all
loans,
lines of
credit,
credit
cards
and your
mortgage.
Take
that
amount
and
divide
it by
your
gross
total
monthly
income.
If the
number
is
higher
than
0.50
then
don't
leave
this
site. If
you are
below
0.50 we
can
still
help
save you
money.
Fill
out our Online
Approval
Application
and let
us do
the leg
work for
you. The
secret
is to
determine
at an
early
stage
whether
debt
consolidation
is the
best
route
for you.
