Second Mortgages Are A Great Idea For:

  • Avoid or limit your down payment

  • Avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

  • Qualify for a better rate on your primary first lien

  • If you are selling a home you can use a second lien as a buffer until you sell your prior residence and then pay off the second lien and be left with a low rate first lien.

  • It may provide the only way to finance the home under the payment terms you wish

Second Mortgage Opportunities

  • Home Equity loan to consolidate debts or get cash
