Mortgage and Home Equity Loan

  Can a mortgage and an equity loan be consolidated into one fixed mortgage?
 
  The answer depends on the amounts involved.  You could certainly take out one new loan and use the money to pay off the two you have right now -- but that's only if you have enough equity in your property so that you can get a loan for the larger amount you 'd need.  And of course if you have a good credit record.
