Second Mortgage
A
Second Mortgage Loan is a mortgage granted, (and registered) when
there is already a first mortgage registered against
the property. If you are like most
homeowners, you probably have a first mortgage loan on your home. As
you make monthly mortgage payments and the value of the home
increases, your interest in the property (called "equity") grows.
After a while, some homeowners may wish to borrow against the equity
in their home to get cash, to make home improvements, to educate
their children, or to consolidate personal debts. Because such loans
are in addition to the first mortgage on the home, they are commonly
called second mortgage loans.

Second
mortgage loans are different from first mortgages in several ways.
They often carry a higher interest rate, and they usually are for a
shorter time, 15 years or less. In addition, they may require a
large single payment at the end of the term, commonly known as a
balloon payment.
A 2nd mortgage is an additional
loan taken out by the borrower secured by real estate. From the
borrower's point of view it is very similar to the first mortgage on
the same piece of real estate. As the name indicates, the 2nd
mortgage sits in second position behind the first and is second in
priority.
A 2nd mortgage is generally a less
expensive method in which to finance debt. With the loan being
secured by real estate, the interest rate is generally lower than
those charged through personal unsecured loans or credit cards. As
well, with payments being interest only or amortized over a longer
period of time the monthly payments may be lower. This would
increase monthly cash flow.
2nd mortgages can offer a practical plan
for consolidating debts. Also, because 2nd mortgages may be tax
deductible, non-deductible interest payments may be converted into
deductible mortgage interest. There is no equity required, with 2nd
mortgages up to 125% loan to value. Your home is eligible for a
loan, even if you currently have no equity.
2nd mortgages are simple interest home
loans, which means interest is compounded annually, as opposed to
credit cards that charge interest compounded daily, where you can
pay up to 3 times more interest. You can use your mortgage to pay
off credit cards, personal loans, car loans, taxes, or most any
other debt. The flexibility of the program allows for a combination
of paying bills, improving your home, or taking cash out for your
personal use.
