Second Mortgages

Taking a second mortgage is exactly what it sounds like: it’s another mortgage you take out on a home you’re already making mortgage payments towards. People take out second mortgages for a variety of reasons: unexpected expenses that need to be paid immediately, home improvements and renovations, to pay off high-interest debt, and, most commonly, to fund the full purchase of an additional property.

What do I need to qualify for a second mortgage?

Credit score

The better the credit score, the better the second mortgage rates. Higher credit scores suggest lower risk to lenders; it literally pays to be responsible with your spending.

Value of property

One of the most important factors in determining your second mortgage rate is the value of your property; this is important to lenders in the event you default on payments.

Income

A dependable, consistent source of income gives lenders an extra boost of confidence that you’re a trustworthy borrower.
