Reduce debt and stress.
Take control of your finances and consolidate your bills with a refinance from Embrace. A debt consolidation refinance uses the equity in your home to pay off high-interest credit cards, car loans, medical bills, and other debt. If you qualify, we can help you roll everything up into one convenient monthly payment.
When you refinance your mortgage, you essentially pay off your old mortgage with a new one that has different terms. Terms of a mortgage include the interest rate, number of payments, and loan balance. A bill consolidation mortgage allows you to borrow more than you owe on your current mortgage to consolidate other debt into your home loan. View Loan Examples >>
If you are looking to simplify your debt obligations from credit cards and other loans, a debt consolidation mortgage may be the right step to get your finances back on track. We’re here to help you find the right solution for your needs. Keep reading to learn more or get in touch with an Embrace refinance specialist today.

Potential Benefits
Lower interest rates
Mortgages typically offer much lower interest rates than credit cards and other loans, which could be 15%-18% on average. Lower monthly payments can free up money to use toward paying down your debt. View Loan Examples >>
Potential tax benefits
When it comes to taxes, not all debt is equal. The interest that you pay on your mortgage could be tax deductible, while the interest on credit cards and many other types of loans typically isn’t.
Embrace cannot provide tax advice, so if you have any questions about your specific situation, you should consult with a tax professional.
Single monthly payments
Consolidating your debt from credit cards and other loans can help convert multiple monthly bills into one. This may make it easier to manage your finances and see where your money is going each month, as you only need to worry about a single payment due date.
Things to Consider
Closing costs and additional fees
Refinancing your mortgage will come with fees and closing costs, just as your initial mortgage did. At a minimum, be sure that you plan to live in your home long enough to recoup the costs.
Unsecured vs. secured debt
Be aware that refinancing to consolidate unsecured debt, such as credit card bills, comes with a greater risk. That’s because you’re using your home as security that you’ll pay off your mortgage.
Home appraisal
When you refinance with a debt consolidation mortgage, your home will need to be professionally appraised to let the lender know how much your home is worth. Your home’s appraised value is dependent on many factors, including the local real estate market and any improvements or renovations you may have done since you moved in.
Should you refinance?
Wondering if refinancing your mortgage could save you money? If today’s interest rate is lower than the rate on your current mortgage, there’s a good chance it could. Our Refinance Calculator can help you determine how much you will save and if refinancing is worth it in the long run.
Plug your current mortgage information into our Refinance Calculator. You can compare the total interest paid over the life of your loan — using your current interest rate versus a new lower interest rate. The calculator also shows your monthly savings and how long it will take to break even. Try out different numbers and scenarios to learn how a refinance might benefit you.
Where do I start?
It can feel so easy to accrue debt — and so hard to get rid of it. Often, making just one extra payment or paying more than the minimum due each month can greatly reduce the time it will take to get out of debt. Take a look at how increasing your monthly payments can accelerate the payoff.
