Learning Loans

Are you a homeowner looking to tap into your current equity but you haven't because you don't want to lose your low interest rate by refinancing your loan? We have a solution for you: a second mortgage! You've probably heard about a home equity line or HELOC. A second mortgage is different. Unlike a HELOC that has a variable interest rate and the ability to use your equity as a "credit card", the second mortgage has a fixed rate and starting balance. A second mortgage rate will be higher than your current loan, but it means you don't have to touch the loan you have now. This option is ideal for those who are looking to do renovations or add an ADU. To keep a lower payment you'll also want to have a loan for longer than 10-20 years, which is usually the length of a HELOC loan. Interested in learning more?
