What is a Second Mortgage?
A second mortgage—often referred to as a "2nd mortgage" or "home equity loan"—allows you to borrow additional funds by leveraging the equity in your home.
While it can be a useful financial tool, it does come with increased risk, as the first mortgage lender has priority in the event of default. Because of this, second mortgages typically have higher interest rates.
If you have at least 20% equity in your home, you may be eligible for a second mortgage. It's an ideal option for financing home renovations or accessing funds for business purposes.
