I am expecting a tax refund of $8,000. Is it a better idea to pay off debt, or use the money for a downpayment?

I currently have 12,000 in credit card debt, and would be able to increase my down payment from 5% to 10% if I added the refund to what I have currently. by stephen.long617 from Hinton, Oklahoma. Dec 30th 2015 Reply

It really depends on what your credit score and debt ratio is. Also, you may want to evaluate what the rate is on the credit card debt. In many cases, you'll save far more money by paying that off than putting extra money down on a house. I'd be happy to help you look at your options with a free, no obligation mortgage consultation.
