Debt Consolidation: Using Your Home as Security

 
 

As discussed in numerous articles in our debt consolidation loans information blog, the best interest rate you will ever get on a debt consolidation loan will the be loan you get when you pledge your home as security for the loan.

 

The interest rate you pay on all loans is based on the level of risk taken by the lender. A credit card is an unsecured loan, so it carries a relatively high interest rate.

A car loan is secured by a car, so the interest rate tends to be lower, because if you don't pay the car loan, the lender will take your car.

Of course most cars decline in value, and the lender knows that the car will be worth less later if they need to repossess it, so the interest rate is lower than credit cards, but higher than a home loan.

Why does a debt consolidation home loan have the lowest possible interest rate?

As you have probably already figured out, unlike a car, a home typically increases in value, for two reasons. It increases because house prices go up over the long term, but also because as you repay the home loan or mortgage each month, the equity is increasing.

Lenders know that the equity in your home increases each month, so they know that they are taking very little risk. If they are forced to foreclose on your home, it will probably be worth more in the future, so they will probably recover all of their money.

This low risk leads to a low interest rate, which is good for you the borrower if you are trying to get a debt consolidation loan based on the value of your home.
