Amazing Mortgage Calculator
We don't like to boast, but we think the our new mortgage calculator is amazing. It can automatically generate charts and graphs that correspond with the rates, terms and amortizations that you enter, while letting you compare two different mortgages side-by-side. And if you're feeling feisty, you can even add in lump sum payments and see how they affect your mortgage.
Debt Consolidation
You can use the valuable equity locked in your home to eliminate all of your high interest debts, including credit card debt. By consolidating your debt into a single, low interest-rate mortgage you can save yourself thousands of dollars in interest.
