Question: My mom owns a home in AZ appraised by Bank of America at $280K. She owes $230K on the mortgage. Is there anyway she can refinance or receive a second mortgage in order to take cash out for debt consolidation? She'd like to take out as much as possible, but I don't believe there's anything there to really work with. Can you help shed some light on this for us? The pros/cons cans/can'ts for both scenarios would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome brucebenzel,

The property has been appraised for $280K and she owes $230K on the mortgage. Thus, there is equity in the property. This will help your mother to qualify for a refinance or a second mortgage. In my opinion, rather than applying for a second mortgage, it would be better to refinance the loan. In case of refinance she will be responsible for a single mortgage whereas in case of a second mortgage, she will be responsible for two mortgages. The cash out money that she receives from refinancing the loan can be used for debt consolidation.
