Unfortunately, no. The only way you can include debts such as credit card debt into a mortgage is on a refinance if there is enough equity. Sorry. You might try making a lower down payment if you qualify and using the difference toward your credit cards. I hope this helps. Sincerely,

You could roll it in if you were refinancing, but not in this case.  However, see if they will let you take out a home equity loan - it will likely have lower interest than your credit card and the interest should be tax deductible.

My life was a mess before I got  credit card counseling . Don't underestimate what credit card relief can do for you.

No you can't. Sorry. You'll just have to work on paying them both off.

In most cases, the answer would be no. You could roll other debt into a home refinance or an equity loan, because you're using your existing equity to pay off the credit card debt. But you can't roll it into a regular purchase mortgage -- at least not that I've heard of.

There are always some sort of options, I would say you need to talk to your bank or lending institution to see what they can offer you.  With a good credit rating they should be able to work out a loan for you at a lower interest rate than the cards have.

Hi,

You are right,

I also don't suggest to use credit cards for home loan. Specially when your credit history is good. Try to pay your all loans first and then take the loan just what you really need. Because excess loan will cause more interest rate and it will affect your future.
