If I own two properties, is it advisable to consolidate the debt?

Hello. If you combine the debts into one loan and you try to sell one in the future, you may not be able to get a release of that lien for that specific property. It can save you a little bit in costs to do 1 loan to cover both, but I don't see the benefit any other way. Hope this helps.

Too much info missing.. Are you wanting to combine 2 mortgages on 2 properties into one mortgage on one property? if so, this can be done.. if you're looking to combine 2 mortgages on 2 properties into one mortgage against 2 properties, then this cannot be done using any type of conforming or conventional financing... if they were to allow it, and you defaulted on the loan, then which properties would the lender foreclose on?? One or both.. Hard Money lenders will often do these, but there won't be any advantage at all if you have to use HML... more info please..

Possibly. If one of your properties is investment, consolidating / combining the balance with your primary residency is usually discouraged by accountants. If one is a vacation home and the other your primary residence, then it can make good sense to combine them. Many lenders offer rate incentives for larger balanced loans, and reduced disincentives for lower balanced loans. I would encourage you to work with a local Mortgage Banker/Broker. He should be able to help you identify the pros and the cons of doing two separate loans or one consolidated loan based on your particulars. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com ~ 888-889-9950

It depends. You get a better interest rate on owner occupied properties. Can save money with one closing. It would depend on the amount of equity in the properties currently and the current interest rates. Call 225 300 8895 and ask for Garth if you have questions.

The details make a difference. If both are at higher rates but both are relatively smaller loans you'd save some expenses by doing just one new mortgage and of course you'd have one mortgage to pay every month instead of two.
