Credit card interest rates are still sitting around 18–24%, and many homeowners are feeling the pressure. Managing multiple payments every month can drain cash flow and delay bigger financial goals.
One strategy gaining attention is a debt consolidation mortgage. Instead of juggling high-interest credit cards, personal loans, and auto debt, homeowners refinance and roll those balances into one structured mortgage payment—often at a lower rate.
Potential benefits include:
-
Lower total monthly payments
-
Simplified finances (one payment instead of many)
-
Reduced high-interest exposure
-
Improved long-term financial stability
Of course, it’s not for everyone. Equity, credit score, and long-term goals all matter. But for the right borrower, it can be a smart restructuring move—not adding debt, just managing it better.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it works and who qualifies:

What’s your opinion on using home equity to consolidate debt? Smart financial move or too risky? Let’s discuss.
Here’s what I keep wondering: if you roll your high-interest debt into your mortgage, aren’t you basically turning short-term consumer debt into long-term housing debt? I get that the monthly payment drops, but doesn’t that mean you might be paying off a pizza or a vacation for 20+ years? Curious if anyone’s run the numbers on total interest paid over time versus just grinding through the higher payments.
