FAQs

Why are 2nd home mortgage rates higher?

The interest rate on a 2nd mortgage is typically higher because the lender sees greater risk of default. The borrower has already used up their first home’s equity, so they have no other assets to borrow against. This means that if they are unable to make their payments, they will lose their house along with all of their other possessions.

Is a 2nd home loan tax exemption?

Yes, a 2nd home loan may be tax-exempt if it is used for specific purposes such as making improvements to your primary residence or buying another home within one year of selling your current one. However, the tax exemption on 2nd home loans only applies to the interest portion of your mortgage payments. You are still responsible for paying taxes on any principal reduction.

How Do I Qualify for a Second Mortgage?

You may qualify for a second mortgage if you have an existing first mortgage on your home and meet the lender’s underwriting guidelines. The lender will consider several factors when determining whether you qualify for a second mortgage, including:

  • Your income, assets and credit history
  • Your current debt-to-income ratio (DTI)
  • Your credit score
  • The value of the home you wish to purchase
  • The amount and type of mortgage loan you have already applied for
  • The property’s location
  • Your employment history and stability

The lender will use this information to determine whether you can afford the new mortgage and how much of a loan you qualify for. If you need help understanding how to qualify for a second mortgage, contact us and one of our specialists will be happy to help.
