Second Mortgage LoansSecond mortgages are different from first mortgages.
They usually are for a shorter time period of 15 years or less, and second
mortgage rates are typically higher. You may wish to borrow money against
the equity of your home to get cash, or to consolidate personal debts.

Information on Second Mortgage LoanAll mortgages other than first mortgages are classified
as "second" mortgages. A second mortgage is a mortgage that
gives the lender a claim against the property that is second to the claim
of the holder of the first mortgage. Any other mortgage would be subordinate
to the second mortgage. A home equity loan is a line of credit available
to the borrower that is secured by real estate. It may be placed on a
property that already has a first or second mortgage, or it may be placed
on a property that is owned free and clear.

You also may find most second mortgage loans have large one-time upfront fees, others have closing costs, and some have continuing costs, such as annual fees. You can find equity loans with large balloon payments at the end of the loan, and others with no balloons but with higher monthly payments. Some tips for second mortgage loans are: 1) Watch out for low introductory second mortgage loan rates, especially on revolving credit
lines. Your loan rate may start at 6 percent, but 4 months later increase
to 12 percent. The loan rate may be variable, based on the prime rate
in the future. You have no way to predict future prime rates. Many variable
rate loans have no cap on how high the interest rate may go. As a general
rule, consumers should avoid second mortgage loans without "caps" or with
"caps" higher than they can afford to pay, no matter how low
the current rate. |
