What Is a Second Mortgage?
Think of a second mortgage as a home equity loan that allows homeowners to borrow money from the equity in their home, without refinancing their current mortgage. Using your home as collateral, you can obtain funds to finance projects, goals and purchases.
Qualifying for a Second Mortgage
Obtaining a second mortgage from a private lender has unique qualifications when compared to Canada’s major banks. Requirements with private lenders aim to make it easier on the borrower to gain financing approval by relying less on borrower’s credit, while placing a greater emphasis on equity and property value. Private lenders generally focus on four qualification areas to provide you financing:
1. Equity
2. Income
3. Credit score
4. Property value
