Help, I am in over my head! I am not behind in payments yet, but I am looking for advice. I need to consolidate three cards, Visa, Discover and MasterCard (about $25,000) to one payment at a lower rate. What is the best way to do this. Good news is I have a second house that is almost ready to go on the market for sale, bad news is the market sucks right now. I have been getting by making two house payments with good credit for almost a year now. If the market was better, (I owe $152,000 and tax value is $204,000) I would have enough in the property to pay off this debt.
