This can help you keep your monthly payments down and avoid unnecessary debt and interest. If you qualify for the best rates, a HELOC can be a less expensive way to consolidate debt or finance a home renovation. You can only take the deduction up to a certain threshold, however, based on your total mortgage debt.
