Financial Advice For A Friend

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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
