The Second Mortgage Process
Applying for a second mortgage can be a great way to finance your home improvements or pay down debt. But is it right for you?
Our experts will be happy to walk you through the process from beginning to end to ensure a second mortgage is the right strategy to meet your goals.
First, we need to know what your goal is and what sort of equity you already have in your home. We’ll take a look at your current mortgage, ask you some questions about what you’d like to accomplish, and walk you through the next steps.
Even though you’re looking for a second mortgage instead of purchasing a new home, you’ll still need to qualify again as if you were applying for a new mortgage. We’ll take you through the application, help choose the best lender and mortgage product for you, and gather all the necessary paperwork.
Once you’ve been approved, it’s time to connect with a lawyer to finalize the paperwork. You can choose the lawyer yourself or use a title company assigned by the lender.
Regardless of who you choose, your lawyer or title company will make sure your current lender is paid, your new lender is added to the title, and all other conditions have been met.
Understanding Second Mortgages
What Are They?
A second mortgage is a loan where you use your house as collateral behind your first mortgage on the same property.
Some may use a second mortgage to help manage debt or to fund projects like a home renovation.
Are There Advantages?
A second mortgage can provide you with access to funds up to 80% of your home value. The interest rate is higher than your first mortgage but could be relatively low due to your home being used as collateral.
Are There Disadvantages?
A second mortgage is a useful option but comes with higher rates and associated costs such as fees, appraisals, and legal costs. We can help determine if it’s right for you or if another option may suit you better.
