Second Mortgages are an increasingly popular way to achieve financial goals
Now is the time to consider a second mortgage. Canada has rarely seen second mortgage rates lower. With Canadian mortgage rates this attractive, homeowners need to consider how to utilize equity in their homes and second mortgage loans are a great option.
What is a Second Mortgage?
Second mortgage loans are a home equity loan that allows homeowners to borrow from their home’s equity without refinancing their existing mortgage. The amount borrowed on a 2nd mortgage is based on available equity – i.e., the difference between appraised value and the amount owed on the first mortgage.
Second mortgages make sense for homeowners who have paid down much of their first mortgage and/or whose home has appreciated in value. When second mortgage rates are low – as they are today – homeowners should consider a 2nd mortgage. Canada may not see better conditions for home equity loans again.

Secured against your home, 2nd mortgage rates are among the lowest available. Therefore, second mortgages are useful tools for personal and professional financial planning. For example;
