Second Mortgage Loan

Let us take Jonathan’s example:

$400,000 Value of your home

$200,000 First Mortgage with ABC Bank

He needs $80,000 to pay off debts which include a consumer proposal, his wife’s personal debts and repairs on his home. Jonathan receives a second mortgage loan registered on his home behind the $200,000 first mortgage. Even if the second mortgage loan will be a little more expensive than a second mortgage loan, he will be able to save money every month, fix both is wife’s and his credit by paying of the consumer proposal and bringing those much needed repair to his property!

So, he has 2 mortgages on his home, one of $200000 and one of $80,000, for a total of $280,000.

The reason why you want to do business with a specialised mortgage broker when it comes to obtaining a second mortgage loan is that a private lender’s job is to make loans and make money, not fix your credit. They do not specialise in credit rebuilding and are not trained to help you requalify with banks at the end of your term! Also, there is a common practise with private lenders called “loan to own”, where private lenders will make you an offer that looks good on the outside but put clauses in their contracts that are so restrictive that you can easily default and then have them try to seize your home! The devil is in the details.

Not all mortgage brokers are made the same, of course. You want to deal with one who is knowledgeable and that focuses primarily on private lending solutions and strategies. It is also important to remember that its one thing to get into a private loan and a whole other story to get out of the private loan and back to traditional lenders! You need to have a strategy that will work on your mortgage payments and your credit simultaneously so that you can exit at the end of your term and not get stuck paying high interest any longer than required.

Although there are associated fees with a mortgage broker when it comes to a second mortgage loan, they are usually financed right into your mortgage and not paid upfront. And you only pay for results. If we are unable to get you the right mortgage, there is no fee. When it comes to something as important as registering a second mortgage on your home, it is better to pay a little more and have peace of mind, than to do business with the private lender directly, even if it is a little cheaper, and put your home at risk with restrictive terms or abusive clauses. Quality comes with a price, and their no price for piece of mind.
