2nd mortgages

Utilise Your Home Equity with a 2nd  Mortgage Loan

A second mortgage is a loan that is applied for while the original first mortgage loan is still in place. If a security property is sold the 1st mortgage loan lender will receive the amount owing to them first, and then the balance will go towards repayment of the 2nd mortgage lenders debt. Due to this, the interest rate for the 2nd mortgage funding is higher, and the amount you can borrow is lower compared to the first mortgage loans. This is because the loan amount is determined by the available equity available in the property.

Whenever most people purchase a property or a house, they apply for funding from a traditional financial institution for their first mortgage loan. This type of funding can take time to establish however they are long term loans with a maximum 30 year term. Once your first mortgage is established, in the future, you may wish to borrow more money you can consider a second mortgage loan. For this purpose, it may be better to look to the private lenders to assist. Private lenders use the property as security and the funding is known as a second mortgage. First mortgage loans have repayments based on monthly EMI (equated monthly instalment) that includes a portion of the interest and principal in the payments. Over time the equity in a property will increase once a portion of the first mortgage debt is repaid.

The difference between the current market value and the amount outstanding on the first mortgage is known as home equity. A borrower can again decide to borrow funds against their home equity for managing other expenditures. The funding they apply for against home equity is called a second mortgage loan. It is a lump sum amount that the second mortgage lenders give to the borrower at the time of approval.

You also have to pay the 2nd mortgage, like the first loan mortgage, in a specified time at a variable or fixed interest rate, based on the loan agreement signed with the lender. Second mortgage loans can be used for both business and consumer purposes however this depends on the lenders.
