Looking for Consolidation Loan Recommendations - LOW APR
Hello hello! I hope everyone is doing fabulous!! My name is Brandalyn and I am a new investor in Florida. This is my first post. lol.
I need some help! And I am the first person to tell you its OK to ask for help but the last to ask! So I'm asking.
I have a 700+ credit score! I have over 40k in credit and only approximately an $8k balance ($4k at 0%) which I share with my partner. I have approximately a $12k balance at a 10% APR for a car loan and a $16k balance on a personal loan that was originally $22.5k at a 14% APR.
I am trying to lower my DTI and have done a couple soft pulls for a consolidation loan to consolidate what is left of the car loan and the personal loan, but so far the lowest APR is 18%!! WHYYY!
Does anyone have any recommendations?? Would a credit union be lower? I want to pay this debt off ASAP to improve my current financial position and limit my bad debt... Am I just being impatient??
I guess I should also mention that we just had an offer accepted for our FIRST house hack!! I am freaking out just a little and want do whatever I can to make this happen.. (I also know I cannot apply for a loan once I have applied for the mortgage loan, which I am doing within the next 5 days). Any advice is appreciated and your kindness is also MUCH APPRECIATED, thank you!!
