About

Let’s say you already have a mortgage — your first mortgage — for your home. Now you want another mortgage to finance a new vehicle or a down payment for another home. How do second mortgages work? The key things to know: the bank gives you money. Your home serves as collateral — a guarantee for the loan. To pay back the loan with interest, you send in monthly payments. You should know that interest rates for a second mortgage may be higher than the rate of your first mortgage.

Whether you want to consolidate debt, make a major purchase, or want to purchase a second mortgage, at Everything Mortgages, we can help you get your second mortgage.

The Challenge

The Challenge of Second Mortgages

One of the challenges is getting a mortgage with poor credit since many lenders won’t trust you if you have a bad mortgage. It also has stricter requirements, and sufficient home equity and steady income are crucial for second mortgage qualification. When you apply for a second mortgage, you cannot neglect the importance of closing costs as well, such as appraisal fees, which can run up to 5% of your loan amount.

Also, lenders are a little bit selective when giving second mortgages, and they know the risks they have since you have to repay a larger loan compared to the first mortgage. Whatever challenge there is, you can have peace of mind by working with our mortgage brokers who are always by your side to answer questions.

Benefits

Qualification Requirements

You will need to bring the required papers, which we will assist you with, have a stable income, significant home equity (at least 25%), a low debt-to-income ratio (below 43%), and a decent credit score (at least 620) to be approved for the second mortgage.

Equity Management

The amount of home equity you have determines your interest rates and loan amount and based on that, we provide loan options that fit your goals and financial status.

Interest Rates

The interest rates you receive on a mortgage are influenced by your equity and credit history. The larger your equity, the lower your interest rate. Our mortgage brokers try to get rates that fit you and meet your requirements.

Our Solution

Our Solutions for Second Mortgages in Canada

Most people associate second mortgages with high interest rates, large fees, and a big loan, but many homeowners may find that getting a second mortgage allows them to pursue other goals without having to sell their house. You can borrow against your current house loan when you take out a second mortgage. It is an extra loan secured by an existing mortgage on real estate. Indeed, they do have a little higher interest rate than a first mortgage, but only because the former is seen as a riskier investment.

Nevertheless, compared to unsecured credit lines, high-interest credit cards, and auto lease payments, these rates are still far lower. Your house is perhaps your most significant possession, and it appreciates with time. Equity is the value you obtain, which you may use to fund other endeavours or financial ambitions. How do you get a second mortgage? We at Everything Mortgages have access to a private and institutional network of second mortgage lenders. In as little as 48 hours, our mortgage professionals can connect you with a lender regardless of your credit, income, or work history.
