Standalone Second MortgageStandalone second mortgage products offer a convenient way to take equity out of a property or provide financing in a refinance or debt consolidation. For difficult to verify income, stated income standalone second mortgage products are available. Interest only standalone second mortgage products will lower your payment. Second mortgage products carry a fixed interest rate and amortization periods range from 5 to 20 years with a new standalone second mortgage product amortized over 30 years with a balloon due in 15 years. The longer amortization period lowers your standalone second mortgage monthly payment significantly. If you have a great rate on your existing mortgage, a standalone second mortgage allows you access to your home equity. Standalone Second Mortgage Debt RatiosDebt ratios are determined by dividing your total monthly debt by your monthly pretax income. Our programs will allow up to a 45% total debt ratio. If you are refinancing, one effective strategy to get your ratio down is to pay off debt at closing. Debt paid at closing is not counted in the ratio calculation. Standalone second mortgage products can be arranged for up to 125% of the value (including your existing first mortgage) of the property. Interest rates generally increase any time your combined loan to value (CLTV) exceeds 90%. However, high CLTV rates are generally lower than other consumer or credit card rates and the longer amortization schedule can significantly reduce your monthly payment. I have had clients cut their monthly payments in half using their home equity instead of paying high credit card payments. This approach is referred to as a debt consolidation standalone second mortgage.
