Consolidate Debts and Keep Your Low Rate!
If your credit card debt is getting difficult to manage but you have already locked in a low interest rate on your home mortgage that you don’t want to give up, a blended rate may be a good solution.
A 6.50% may not sound like a great rate for a mortgage if you already have a 2.50%, but what if you could get a 3.50% or less and save hundreds every month? Consider 2nd lien financing...
A fixed-rate 2nd lien can be a great tool to lower high-interest debts and significantly reduce your monthly payment liability without needing to give up your low rate on your primary mortgage. The example below illustrates the "blended rate" of a 1st and 2nd lien mortgage, and the monthly cost savings.
Best Mortgage Rate can deliver a personalized blended rate scenario and help you decide if a blended rate program is right for you.
