Solutions for complex income or uniques financial situations.
A second mortgage is a subordinate loan taken out against a property’s built-up equity while a primary mortgage is still active, functioning as a secondary lien where the lender is paid only after the first mortgage in the event of a sale or foreclosure. Available primarily as a fixed-rate lump sum (Home Equity Loan) or a variable-rate line of credit (HELOC), these loans generally offer lower interest rates than unsecured debt but carry the risk of foreclosure since the home serves as collateral. To qualify, homeowners typically need at least 15–20% equity, a solid credit score, and a manageable debt-to-income ratio.
