80k mortgage @6.25 less than 1 year
15k credit cards $450 per month minimum, finally in a spot where we haven’t needed to use them at all
My thoughts and questions are about whether I should get a 2nd mortgage of 20-25k vs 50k at 7.5% for 20 years. I need to pay credit cards and get a new car. I want to get a tractor and house furniture and appliances. And still have some left over.
If I refinance now it will be a lower interest rate on my mortgage but I will have lower credit score. Also 450 going to credit cards per month vs 200 for 25k and 400 for 50k.
Will removing the credit card debt and having less money going out every month boost my refinance if I wait and take the 2nd mortgage.
