Mortgage debt over consumer debtBecause mortgage debt is spread out over 30 years, because the interest is tax-deductible in most cases, and because mortgage interest rates are so low, I almost always advise buyers to put less down if they have high consumer debt balances, e.g. credit cards, auto loans, etc.You can easily save hundreds of dollars per month by swapping high rate, short-term consumer debt with lower rate, long-term mortgage debt.4.
