Top 5 Reasons To Get A Second Lien Mortgage

man holding money in hands

A Second Mortgage can be a powerful solution if you are looking to leverage the equity you have built in your home for a low fixed interest rate, without affecting the rate on your first mortgage. This allows you to borrow a lump sum of cash all at once, making it easy for you to manage your financial goals and get quick cash for anything you need. Check out these 5 advantages of a Second Lien Mortgage…

No Need To Refinance
With a second lien mortgage, you can tap into your home equity without refinancing, allowing you to keep the interest rate you have on your current mortgage. If rates have increased since you purchased your home, it may be beneficial to get a second mortgage as opposed to refinancing.

Flexible Loan Options
The flexibilty of a second mortgage allows you to choose a product that is tailored to your specific needs. At AmeriHome, we offer 15, 20, or 30-year fixed rate loans, with up to 80% cash out on loan amounts up to $500,000.

Consolidate Debt
If you have high-interest debt, such as a personal loan or credit card balance, you could use a second mortgage to get the cash you need to consolidate your debt into one lower-interest payment, helping you save thousands of dollars in interest.

Make Home Improvements
Need extra funds for home renovations? For a remodel big or small, a second mortgage can provide you with enough cash to upgrade your kitchen, replace flooring, or even expand your home by adding an additional room–the possibilites are endless.

Pay For Large Expenses
Life is full of big moments, and sometimes, those big moments come with big expenses. Whether you’re planning your wedding, funding a lavish vacation, or paying for higher education, a second mortgage can provide you with the funds to make your dreams a reality.
