Second Mortgages
There are many different types of second mortgages available:
- A home equity loan allows you to borrow money based on the amount of equity,
or value, you own in your home. This amount is determined by taking the market
value of your house and subtracting the amount of your first mortgage. If
you own a home that is worth $150,000 and have a mortgage $100,000, $50,000
is the amount of your equity. Most lenders will allow you to borrow any where
from 85% to 100% of this amount.
- A home equity line of credit is also based on your equity. However, instead
of one large advance of cash, a line of credit is opened for you in the amount
of a loan. This amount can be drawn from usually for a period of five to ten
years conveniently using credit cards or checks. Through out this draw period
interest builds only on the amount you have withdrawn. This type of loan is
good for people with irregular expenses since it allows them to draw what
they want when they need it.

Bad Credit Refinance
Debt consolidation can help you get from under the stress and pressure of collections calls and the mountain of bills that come to you each month in the mail. Refinancing all of your small loans into one larger one will allow you to have one monthly payment. This will help you pay off your debt more easily, generally with a lower interest rate and often lower monthly payments. Also, lenders understand that applicants looking for to refinance in order to consolidate debt usually have damaged credit and so the requirements for this type of refinancing would be more lenient.

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
Usually, the homebuyer places a down payment on the lot and uses a line of credit to finance the construction of the home. As construction moves along, the buyer borrows from the line of credit to finance the building. Once the construction is finished, the land loan and the line of credit are rolled into a single mortgage to be paid by the homeowner.

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.

Reverse Mortgage
Though generally most applicants for a reverse mortgage own their homes free and clear, a homeowner can qualify even if they still owe if the first cash advance can pay off this debt. There is no maximum age or penalty against older borrowers; in fact, generally the older the borrower, the larger the amount received.
