Refinancing Your Home Why you should and why you Could.
There are many people in today's society that have, for one
reason or another, found themselves in massive financial
difficulty. The reasons for this are widespread but
typically include credit card debt, loan debt, Car Loans
(believe it or not), or mortgage problems. All of these things
are debt of one type or another and during our study we have
found that there is a typical pattern of events surrounding the
persons problems. Read on and see if this sounds familiar:
1. Person has a job, not brilliantly paid but a paying job 2.
Person feels comfy so gets a loan to buy 'x' with (Car, kitchen,
holiday, etc) 3. Person then either a. Loses job b. Acquires
more loans (because they need more stuff) 4. The debt that
they've acquired then starts eating away at what ever money was
left at the end of the month 5. Person borrow more money to help
prop up the existing debts, usually with credit card spending 6.
Points 4 and 5 then get repeated until suddenly the monthly out
goings are more than the incomings
And suddenly the person finds themselves in trouble because each
month the debt gets bigger and bigger.
Sound familiar?
There are probably some of you reading this thinking 'What is he
talking about?', rest assured there are those reading this right
now having just experienced a cold chill.
One of the options that 'Person' usually overlooks is the value
of the house that they are living in, a simple mistake (because
realistically who wants to gamble the roof over their head?).
There are two clear ways out for Person, he can either sell the
property (in which case a series of new problems come to light -
like finding somewhere else to live) or more intelligently he
could refinance the property (the technical name for this is
'Refinance Home Equity' / 'Refinance Home Mortgage').
Most banks will do this for you (assuming you haven't already
upset them) or you can approach a private company for a 'Home
Equity Loan'.
The thing to remember about refinancing your home (whether
'Refinance Home Equity' via a bank or 'Home Equity Loan' via a
loan company) you are essentially borrowing money against the
value of your home, and so if you default on this loan (or
remortgage) then you are going to be in real trouble.
To limit the potential for problems you should: 1. Find local
refinance companies - they'll be more sympathetic to your
situation 2. Find the best refinance loan rate or Home Equity
Refinance rate 3. Clear credit card debt first - this is
typically the most expensive type of loan 4. Don't refinance
just to buy a car - if you're not doing well don't go OTT 5.
Whether you're looking at mortgage loans or equity loans be sure
to shop around - the larger banks might make an offer to stop
you using the smaller refinance provider
This may seem like very simple advice to many people but for
some, who have worked themselves into a rut it's handy to be
reminded.
And don't forget, by intelligent use of credit and refinance you
can solve your debt problems.
