jbpro, based on the interest rate/balance on the rental, I would suggest leaving that loan out of the mix. Perhaps consider paying additional principal to reduce the interest expense by accelerating the principal.
As far as the primary, lots of variables to consider, but you may want to look into refinancing fow lower rate and possibly to consolidate the credit cards based on your equity position. If you decide to cash out, you should seriously review your spending habits to prevent you from repeating the behavior that put you in a position with 50k in plastic debt. If you can comfortably afford all of your payments currently, consider increasing the payment on your new loan to what you currently paying between the mortgages and cc's so that you can expedite paying down the debt.

JB,
No adcice on what you should do about refinancing. .. I thought I would respond to your "break even" calculation. You are only factoring the cost of doing the loans and pay back period by monthly payment savings. Nothing about the "cost" of "re-amorization." You will be starting all over from ground zero. Pick an Amorization Calculator and play with the numbers. ... Good luck, Rudi

Now is a good time to refinance both. You can do them concurrently. Submitt quote request to get an rate quotes, Consult an tax accountant or financial planner on the rest.

Should I refinance my mortgage on my residence, my rental, or on both?
