Mortgage Brokers Tips on Second Mortgage | Page 3

How Does The Second Mortgage Work?  Usually, the process of securing a second mortgage in Toronto starts with you filling out an application and having an approximate value of your home. Once the mortgage broker clears you for a mortgage, the next step will involve the reviewing of your credit report and also the appraisal of your home. Note that, you will have to bear the cost of the appraisal that will be approved by the mortgage lender. The cost is around $300. Once your home has been cleared by the home appraisal, the next step involves the issuance of a mortgage commitment by the lender. The mortgage commitment contains all of the terms of the loan and it is your mortgage broker's responsibility to ensure that you fully understand these terms. However, your progress to the next step depends on whether you agree with the terms of the loan or not. But in the case where you agree to this term, then the next step would be, having everything sent off to a lawyer to finalize the transaction. You will get your funds released once the lawyer finalizes the transaction.
