Combining your debts into one single monthly payment with a lower interest rate can make it easier to pay off the loan and help you pay it off faster. High-interest debt can be considered any loan with an interest rate of 7.5% or higher. High-interest debts can include:
-Credit Cards
-Medical Bills
-Student Loans/College Tuition
-Car Loans
-Personal Loans
-Payday Loans
If you purchased your home when interest rates were high, you could reduce your interest rate by refinancing your loan.
The IRS does not require you to file the money you obtain from a cash-out refinance as income. If you use the money for capital home improvements that increase the property value of your home, it could be tax-deductible. Refer to the IRS publication 936 for Home Mortgage Interest Deduction.
Of course, we aren't here to tell you how to spend the money you get from your cash-out refinance. You can use the money for whatever purpose you see fit, but from a financial standpoint, you'll get a better return if you spend it on expenses that lower your debt to income ratio or add value. If you are ready to learn more about how much money you can get through a cash-out refinance, contact The Willson Team at Caliber Home Loans. We'll take the time to go through the details and help you get a better idea of whether or not this is the right refinance option for your financial situation.
