Improving cash flow by lowering overall monthly payment. If you own a house and have been on a couple of consecutive parental leaves because your have small children or have experienced unemployment for a short time, you may find yourself in more debt than you feel comfortable with. Now that you’re back to work, you’d like a better way to manage that debt instead of making high payments on credit cards or lines of credit.

The best way to get your cash flow back on track is to look at consolidating this debt into your mortgage and restructuring your mortgage to have your monthly payments come in line with your household income. Even if your current mortgage isn’t coming up for renewal, the small penalty you may have to pay with your existing lender will likely give you the breathing room you need to improve your cash flow.
