For Property Owners

Access your equity, keep your great first mortgage.

I need funds but I don't want to break my first mortgage.

A second mortgage sits behind your existing one, so the low rate you locked in stays untouched while you put your equity to work.

When it makes sense

Five times a second mortgage wins

01

You locked in a great rate

Breaking a low-rate first mortgage triggers penalties and reprices your whole balance. A second mortgage leaves it alone.

02

Debt consolidation

Roll credit cards and high-interest loans into one payment at a fraction of the interest.

03

Renovations

Fund a kitchen, an addition or an income suite that adds value to the property securing the loan.

04

Investment opportunities

Use equity for a down payment on a rental property or a business opportunity that can't wait for a refinance.

05

Bridge to a better position

Cover a short-term gap, then consolidate everything into a single mortgage at renewal, penalty-free.

Flexible terms

Built around your circumstances

01

Equity-based approvals

Second-mortgage lenders focus on your available equity, making approvals possible with bruised credit or hard-to-prove income.

02

Interest-only options

Keep monthly carrying costs low with interest-only payment structures while you execute your plan.

03

Short, flexible terms

Most second mortgages run one to two years, a tool for a season, not a life sentence.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much can I borrow on a second mortgage?
Combined with your first mortgage, most lenders go to 80-85% of your home's value. Your available room is your home value times that percentage, minus your current mortgage balance.
Are second mortgage rates higher?
Yes, the lender is in second position, so rates are higher than a first mortgage. But they're dramatically lower than credit cards, and the structure is usually temporary by design.
How fast can a second mortgage close?
Often within one to two weeks, since equity-based approvals need less documentation than a bank refinance.
