Once we assess your current debt and how your assets are invested, we can help you create a realistic plan to tackle both. There are many strategies available to improve your financial situation. For example, with interest rates at all-time lows, many homeowners refinance and pull equity from their homes to pay off high-interest debt. As long as you’re under the limit, mortgage interest on your primary residence may also be tax-deductible.
Others transfer credit card balances to take advantage of promotional low rates while working to pay them down. Some even consider interest-only loans. While these aren’t ideal for those planning to stay in their homes long term, they can offer lower monthly payments for buyers who plan to sell or refinance in the future.
Additionally, if your home appreciates in value, you still benefit from the gains—regardless of how much principal you’ve paid down.
