Second Mortgage

A second mortgage is a debt secured by the value of your home. It is similar to a first mortgage, except that it typically has a higher interest rate. You may be able to get a second mortgage even if you have bad credit.

Third Mortgage

A third mortgage allows a borrower to take out a loan against the value of their home. The loan is secured by the property, and the borrower makes monthly payments until the loan is paid off. Third mortgages are usually used to finance home improvements, pay off high-interest debt, or make a large purchase.

Getting a second and third mortgage

The Mortgage Firm can help you determine how much equity you have and how to use it to get approved for a mortgage. We can also help you find a bigger or smaller mortgage depending on your housing needs. Third mortgages typically have high-interest rates, and they may also require the borrower to have equity in their home.

If you're taking out a second mortgage, your home equity will serve as collateral for the loan. That means if you default on the loan, the lender could foreclose on your home. While repaying your second and third mortgage, you'll also need to keep up with payments on your first mortgage.

You can combine your existing home equity with a line of credit to finance a new property.

Understanding the risks and rewards of a second mortgage is essential. The Mortgage Firm is here to help you every step of the way. Contact us today to get started.
