Consolidate Debt
Because the interest on your mortgage is tax deductible, it is often worth exploring tapping your home equity to consolidate debt. Not only will the rate most likely be lower but you can write off the interest expense. The only consideration is whether you want to spread your payments on this shorter term debt over the longer amortization period of a typical 15 or 30 year mortgage. Remember that you can always make extra payments on your mortgage to shorten the term of the loan.
