Does Second Mortgage hurt your Credit?

A Second mortgage can play an important role to those homeowners whose abilities to pay huge amount of debts are lessening. Although, a second mortgage comes with high interest rates, but these rates are lower than unsecured loans, car lease payment, and so on. As a result, your credit score can improve if you use a second mortgage to consolidate your debts. Mortgage professional can help you through the whole process and help you what steps you can take to improve your credit history as well.

What is a Second Mortgage?
A Second mortgage always stands behind the first mortgage and borrowers can get it against their home equity. As they pay a first mortgage monthly payment, they must continue to pay their second mortgage payment as well. Let us say your home is valued at 500,000 dollars and your first mortgage is 250, 000 dollars. How much amount you can take out? You can get 80% of home value minus your first mortgage ($500,000*80% – $250,000= $150,000). Based on this example, you can take out $150,000 from your equity.

Types of Second Mortgage-
1. Home Equity Loan- Borrowers can simply take out the cash to pay off the debts.

2. Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC)-Instead of taking cash out, sometimes, borrowers prefer to make a line of credit and it is a revolving line of credit, they can borrow money, payback, and then borrow money again up to a maximum limit. HELOC is a secured line of credit against home equity.

Advantages of 2nd Mortgage-
• Consolidate your debts
• Renovate the house
• Get funds for emergency
• Hassle free closing process (For 2nd mortgage, lenders normally do not check income and credit, so it is a fast-hassle-free closing process).
• Keep credit scores intact (Most of the time, approval for 2nd mortgage do not require to check Credit Bureau repeatedly, which keeps credit scores intact).

Disadvantages of 2nd Mortgage-
• High interest rates
• Foreclosure (foreclosure is a legal process where mortgagees try to recover the mortgage loan to sell the property that is used as the collateral if the borrower stops to make the payment).
• Temporary financial strain

Why 2nd mortgage interest rates are higher?
The Second mortgage is registered behind the prime mortgage, based on this fact, 2nd mortgage lenders are on more risk than the first mortgage provider lenders. If mortgagors default payments then prime mortgage lenders get the loan amount first, and if something is left then it will go into the account of private lenders.
