Debt Consolidation Home Loan - As the wording describes it is utilising your home loan to consolidate debt. Though as is always the case, its not as easy and simple as it sounds. Each client scenario is completely different which keeps us on our toes, and is one of the reason why we love what we do. Firstly, i will start by saying all loan products are not the same, and the interest rate and fees associated can vary dramatically. The reason for this is one of the fundamental questions nobody every really thinks of - Where does the money come from? With the recent issues concerning the GFC (Global Financial Crisis) manay people have begun to realise the money for you loans comes from some one or a corporation somewhere. These entities purpose is profit and investment return. Therefore wholesale interest rate and fee for risk is where the profits are made, and then there is the delivery costs such as the lenders fees and risk insurance. Now, moving onto a simple Debt Consolidation Home loan - I will start by looking at interest rate. Interest rate for a debt consolidation home loan can vary drastically, with various products having differences in interest rate sometimes up to 4% or more. This is becuase the investor want a return based on the risk in lending the money to you. The investor does not know you from any  other of the million of people applying for a loan. Therefore they will look at a range of circumstances they will lend for. For example - refinancing bad debts equals high risk as the funder does not really know if the applicant has moved past their habit, or financial predicament so they will charge a premium for lending the money. The next purpose is to consolidate 2 credit cards, the client has been employed in the same job for 5 years, never late on any mortgage payments, and never over limit on their credit cards or any personal loans - this client presents a low risk client and appeals to the investor who is happy with a lower safer return.

We use all our skills to find the best interest rate and fees for your particular purpose. If the loan isn’t packaged the right way, you may appeal only to an investor who is attracted to higher riskier returns. Packaging your application in the right way and pushing for the small detail to be viewed in the right context is our specialty, and can make all the difference toachieving a better product for your circumstances. Since the GFC the gap between Prime Loans such as the everyday Big 4 loans, and loans for the Credit Impaired has widened considerably. Non Conforming or Debt Consolidation Home Loan Lending has become more specialised than it has ever been. The average broker simply does not have the expertise to obtain the most competetive interest rate and fees structure.

Using your Mortgage for Debt Consolidation

Benefits of Consolidating Unsecured Debt to your Mortgage

Trying to have a hold on all of your debt can be difficult at the best of times. You may have multiple loans and debts for multiple reasons; debt consolidation can help reduce your overall repayment and manage your debt more effectively. Debt consolidation is simple; it brings all of the debt together under one single loan. Many people consolidate their loan into their mortgage, making it easier to bring it all together. There are multiple benefits to bringing all debt into one, but there are four major benefits of consolidating unsecured debt to your mortgage.

Does the Interest Rate make a difference?

By using Debt Consolidation, you can actually lower your overall interest rate that you are paying. The idea is that you are moving all of your debt to one location; this often requires the need to re-configure and restructure an existing loan. If you consolidate your loans, certain debts may be a lower interest rate because the new interest rate is better than the old one. While this may not happen with all debts, just because the new loan is being stretched over a longer period may reduce the repayment and hence make the loan more manageable. For example:

  • The repayment on a $20,000 loan at 11% over 3 years is $652 per month. If this loan was consolidated into a 30 year mortgage with the same interest rate the repayment would be $190 each month. Effectively releasing cash flow of $462 each month.

The above example shows how people can get a handle on their finances. It could help you afford your monthly payments, where you may not have been able to as separate debts.

Why use a Mortgage to secure the debt?

The loan options available to consolidate your debt are using a Secured Consolidation Loan or an Unsecured Consolidation Loan. When a lender has security against a loan product they will offer you a higher loan amount and a better interest rate. Both these features allow a better result when consolidating your debts. A low loan amount may prevent you from consolidating all of your debts. At times this may prevent you from obtaining a Debt Consolidation Loan all together.

Convenience and Simplicity

The most exciting benefit of debt consolidation, however, is the simple convenience factor. By consolidating your debts, you are bringing all of your debt into one place. Many people often have 3, 4, or 5 loans and sometimes up to 10 loans; this can be very difficult to manage and keep all of your loan agreements. Paying one lender, with one interest rate, and one monthly payment can make your finances significantly simpler to manage.

Conclusion

Many people bring their loans together through debt consolidation as a way to make their lives easier and simpler; debt is never fun for anyone, but debt consolidation allows you to manage your debt more effectively and take control. Consolidation can allow for lower monthly payments, and the convenience of having it all in one place. Consolidating your debt into a mortgage is an even better way to bring everything together under one roof; and make your debt work for you a little more.

Debt Negotiation is the art of negotiating loans and debts to an a lower than original figure. Debt Negotiation is required in circumstances where there is insufficient equity to consolidate debt into a mortgage, or even to reduce the level of debt (when consolidating) to an acceptable repayment. Debt Negotiation and Debt Consolidation work closely together at Loan saver Network. Below is a true life example of how Debt Negotiation and Debt Consolidation loans can work hand in hand to give a very effective result.

John and Teresa had been through a string of business and investment disasters, that had left them in a situation where they had $135,000 in credit cards and personal loans. They werte both on very good incomes but they were struggling to get make their home repayments and had fallen behind on most of the credit cards and other loans. They were being faced with selling thier home and starting again, but they would have still been left with a sizeable number of debts. They were paying only $1100 on their home loan, but $2600 each month on their other debts totalling $3700 pcm. Loan Saver Network took a look at their situation and effected a Debt Consolidation Refinance and Debt Negotiation. We found their properties was valued at $240,000 with only a $130,000 loan against the property. The lending policies at the time only allowed in their circumstance a loan up to $216,000 giving them $86,000 available to consolidate all of their debts. The outstading debts required a debt negotiation from $135,000 to $86,000, a reduction of $49,000.

The end result is that we used Debt Negotiation to negotiate the debts, and refinanced the home loan with a Debt Consolidation loan. Their final loan repayment on $216,000 is $1710 per month. We saved them $49,000 on their loans, and $1990 each month on their repayments.
