Second Mortgages
There are many different types of second mortgages available:
- A reverse mortgage is a line of credit available for homeowners of 62 years
and older. This type of loan allows you to draw money as you need or receive
monthly payments for the rest of your life or until you move, even if the
amount of your loan exceeds the value of your house (usually because the home
did not rise in value as expected or the homeowner lived longer than was expected).
This loan, like the home equity line of credit, has an adjustable rate, but
this rate is based on a different index, the Prime Rate which can often be
more reliable than other indexes.
- If you have little or no equity in your home, many lenders will still allow
you to obtain a second mortgage, but it can be risky to secure a loan with
your home if there is not enough equity accrued.

Home Equity
Home equity is the amount of the value of your home that you own, meaning what you have already paid for. This amount can be calculated by subtracting your mortgage from the total market value of your home. For example a house worth $180,000 with a $100,000 mortgage has an equity of $80,000. Generally, lenders will allow a homeowner to borrow 80-85% of their home equity. Fill out our short form to contact lenders about your home equity loan.

Land Loan
Land loans, unlike mortgage loans, are provided solely for the purpose of acquiring land on which to build a new home. Land is a finite quantity anywhere you go and in today’s world it is at a premium because there is only so much to go around. Finding an appropriate lot for a home can be on the level of difficulty of finding an affordable loan for land. Financing can also be more difficult if the borrower intends to wait for more than a few months to build on the property because it adds to the perceived risk if the lot turns out to not be suitable for the building without major work done on the land.

Mortgage Calculation
Mortgage calculation can also help you plan whether or not you would like to include extra payments in your repayment schedule. On the loan of $150,000 at 7% interest with a 30 year term and a monthly payment of $997, one extra yearly payment can save a homeowner nearly $50,000 in interest payments. If this loan had a 15 year term, the difference that of extra yearly payment would be far less impressive, saving just over $9,500. If you are interested in making an extra yearly payment and feel you it will not put too much strain on your finances, it is a good idea to discuss this with your lender. Extra payments can cause you to finish paying your balance before the scheduled end of the repayment period and some lenders have prepayment fees, so you should check to make sure there are no such penalties or include these extra payments in your repayment schedule.
