Private mortgage: the real cost of one year and the way out
Rate, upfront fees, brokerage fees and extension fees: what one year really costs, with a fictional example, and the exit plan to fix before signing.
Refinancing: how much money you actually walk away with

Debt consolidation: lower payment or longer debt?
Your current payments, the new mortgage balance, how long it takes, and the total interest. All four, not just the payment.
