Hey guys, I have some questions for any loan or mortgage officers out there for a friend that needs some help. Here is the scenario:

He has a credit score of 623...not very good.

His Yearly household income is 83,000

His Mortgage is at 233,000 and interest rate is at 6.25% with his home value at 328,000

His Credit Card Debt is 20000.

SO with all that in mind is there a possible way for him to refinance and consolidate this debt or is his credit score too low to do any of these things?

thanks for your help guys.

Get a HELOC for the remaining $95,000 of your equity and go buy a boat, you deserve it.

may as well right...I mean...if you are going to be broke, you may as well have as much fun as possible first!

Wow, how in the world can someone afford a $233,000 mortgage while carrying $20K in credit card debt on a household income of $83,000? Guess that is why you are probably asking the question......

Not sure if a lower interet rate with that kind of credit score and that much cc debt is possible or not.. I am curious how the $100K in equity affects it though.....as mentioned, pm Dimbee.

at the time of the mortgage he had a better paying job and could show better income to get the loan.

Is 623 his middle FICO score? If so, he can get a loan. He is below 80% Loan To Value. Depending on what are the minimum required payments for his debt, I don't think his Debt To Income ratio will be out of whack. It doesn't hurt for him to at least do some investigating. The 10 year Treasury Bond Yield is still ridiculously low, as are rates. Your friend can easily drop their interest rate by 1 point and more on a 30 year fixed.

623 is his equifax score...i dont have any more info beyond that. I think his question is if he can get a refi to be able to add the credit card balances to his mortgage and refi for a better interest rate all at the same time.

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
