Three ways to use home equity

Refinance, HELOC or second mortgage

Refinance

Replace your current mortgage with a larger one and pay off debts at closing. Often the lowest rate, but may trigger a prepayment penalty.

HELOC

A revolving line of credit secured by your home. Flexible and often interest-only, which requires discipline to pay down.

Second mortgage

A separate lump-sum loan behind your first mortgage. Keeps your existing mortgage intact; usually a higher rate and shorter term.

Quick answers

Debt consolidation in Toronto: the short version

Can I consolidate debt into my mortgage in Toronto?
Yes, if you own a home with enough equity and you qualify with a lender. Common ways are refinancing your first mortgage, adding a HELOC, or taking a second mortgage, then using the funds to pay off higher-interest debts so you have one payment.
What is a debt consolidation mortgage?
It is a mortgage or home-equity loan used to pay off other debts such as credit cards, lines of credit, car loans or tax arrears. Because it is secured by your home, it often carries a lower interest rate than unsecured debt, but your home becomes collateral.
How much equity do I need to consolidate debt?
In Canada, a standard refinance or HELOC is generally limited to 80% of your home's value, minus what you already owe. Private second-mortgage lenders may consider different limits. The exact amount depends on an appraisal and lender approval.
Is a HELOC or a second mortgage better for debt consolidation?
A HELOC is a revolving line with flexible, often interest-only payments, while a second mortgage is a fixed lump sum with a set term. A refinance replaces your first mortgage. The best fit depends on your current mortgage terms, credit, income and discipline with revolving credit.
Does Meshesha Robel lend the money?
No. Meshesha Robel is a licensed Mortgage Agent Level 2 with Mortgage Alliance who arranges financing through third-party lenders, including banks, credit unions and private lenders. Lenders make the final approval decision.
