LeahCoss.ca Hi, everyone, how are you? It’s Leah Coss with The Mortgage Center. I’ve had a few of you out there ask me recently if you can wrap up your loans into your mortgage, ie maybe you have student loans, and you’re like, “I’m going to buy a house or I already have one. Can I just wrap up this loan into my home, so that now I don’t have my student loans? Or my car loan, or anything like that. I just want to wrap it up into my mortgage.” And I think that wrapping up term is really confusing a few of you into understanding exactly how that works. You’re not actually wrapping your loans up into your mortgage. What you’re doing is you’re consolidating, and a bank won’t look at the value of your home and the value of your car and add them together and say, “Oh, that’s the full amount, and so we will loan you X amount of percentage based on those two collaterals together.” They don’t do that. A mortgage is a mortgage and loan is a loan, and those are two separate things, and they’re all based on different collaterals. Some loans are even based on no collateral. They’re just given to you on goodwill. That is absolutely not what a mortgage is about. So, when you say, “Can I wrap up these loans?”, the only thing I can say is you can consolidate, but you can only consolidate for as much equity as you already have in your home. So for those of you who’ve bought a home with five percent down, you cannot consolidate anything. It is government mandate. You must have five percent

Federal loan programs can be tough tackle. There are different kinds depending on need and also depending on if you’re a student or parent of student. Also, they’re not the only loans out there–private loans are available to students as well. But which type of loan is better? Kantrowitz has the answers.

College, with all the school work and activities, is definitely a stressful stage in the life of a student. Such situation is aggravated when he is beset with serious financial problems like school loans. The stress and tension created by the existence of onus of loan repayment is more often than not overwhelming for many students that mismanagement and neglect of payment responsibilities are committed even if unintentionally. The good news is that financial stress brought about by loans can be alleviated when one avails of college loan consolidation. A competent and reliable school debt consolidation program affords the student borrower the opportunity to deal with his responsibilities as far as his debt obligations are concerned. When one refinances his student loans, he is presented with a brand new repayment program, one that helps the student meet his responsibility easier. However, there are cases when despite refinancing his student loan, the borrower still encounters problems in the repayment of his loan. Borrowers should be reminded that defaulting must not be committed if possible. One negative effect of default is that the credit of the borrowers will be adversely affected. Indeed, non-payment of monthly college loan dues can be a cause to obtain bad credit standing. If debt repayment stays as a financial problem to the borrower, in spite of school loan consolidation, the next best move that he can do is to obtain the advice of a professional lending adviser
