remortgage with cash out vs. a home equity loan ?
I own my home free and clear but , I owe $50,000 on my Class A motor home and $25,000 yet on my automobile . The motor home qualifies as a second home so I can declare the interest paid at 3.74% and the payment is $550 per month. The automobile interest is at 3.79% and the payment is $450 per month. My question is should I refinance $100,000 for 30 years at 3.5% interest , taking 50K cash out to pay off the motor home and 25K to pay off the auto loan and use the remaining 25K on needed home improvements ! My new payment would be $450 vs the $1000 I pay out now . I'm concerned , that by doing this , I may loose the $2000 interest credit by transferring that 50K debt into a home loan ! Would I be better off keeping the Recreational Vehicle loan as it is and applying for fee free home equity loan of 50K ? I realize that only the money used towards home improvements would be tax declarable and not the $2500 applied to pay off the automobile . Tom
