VA Military Debt Consolidation
Military debt consolidation loans work similarly to cash-out refinances. If you own a home, you are able to refinance that loan for a higher amount to cover the debt. Upon closing, that additional money is pulled out and given to you. You then have paid off personal debt with higher monthly payments. The amount of debt you can pay off depends on several factors including how much home equity you have.
