Can reducing my payments to one per month really save me money?
Yes. Many people refinance to reduce their monthly payments to as low as one! One monthly payment gives you the ability to better manage your overall debt. Over and over again we see homeowners who pay off their credit cards, loans and other outstanding bills relieving that constant source of frustration and anxiety. Often, by reducing your monthly payment to a single figure, you are better able to budget and gauge your monthly spending habits. We can help by working with you to achieve this new financial freedom. And it doesn’t hurt to gain a tax deduction on your monthly bills. A professional tax advisor can explain to you all the advantages of using your home as a way of paying less income tax. Let us help start that conversation.
