What kind of second mortgage is right for you?

Home equity line of credit

A revolving credit line secured by your home’s equity, offering flexible access to funds as needed. You only pay interest on the amount used and can access your available credit repeatedly as you pay it down. Best suited for ongoing expenses, renovations, or as a financial safety net.

Private second mortgage

A fixed-term loan from private lenders, offering quick approval and flexible qualification criteria. Ideal for those who may not qualify for traditional bank products or need fast access to funds. While interest rates are higher, this option provides short-term solutions for immediate financial needs.

Fixed term home equity loan

A traditional second mortgage with fixed terms and regular payments. You receive a lump sum and make consistent monthly payments over a set period. Well-suited for major one-time expenses like debt consolidation, home renovations, or business investments.

Home equity visa or mastercard

A credit card secured by your home equity, offering higher limits and lower interest rates than traditional credit cards. Provides convenient access to funds for everyday purchases and expenses while using your home’s equity as security. Includes typical credit card benefits like rewards and purchase protection.

Second Mortgage FAQS

What types of second mortgages are there?

There are two main types of second mortgages: Home Equity Loans, which provide a lump sum, and Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs), which offer flexible access to funds as needed.

To qualify for a second mortgage, you typically need to have at least 20% to 25% equity in your home. The amount you can borrow is determined by the equity in your home, the outstanding amount on your initial mortgage, your credit score, and your financial stability. Private lenders may approve second mortgages even with low income or bad credit, based on the home’s equity

Second mortgages are commonly used for various purposes such as:

  • Consolidating debt (e.g., paying off high-interest credit cards or student loans)
  • Financing major purchases (e.g., home renovations, education costs)
  • Buying a second property (e.g., a vacation home or investment property)

Second mortgages generally have higher interest rates than primary mortgages due to the increased risk for the lender.

Interest rates can vary from 5.99% to 11.99% depending on the loan-to-value ratio. Additionally, you will need to pay administrative costs such as appraisal and legal fees

The main risks include:

  • Higher interest rates compared to primary mortgages
  • Increased debt burden, which can be challenging to manage if financial difficulties arise
  • The possibility of losing your home if you default on the loan, as the lender can take possession of the property to recover their investment
