Mortgage Brokers Tips on Second Mortgage | Page 6

Applying For Second Mortgage With Bad Credit? The popular misconception about the second mortgage in Toronto is that, once you have a bad credit, lenders won't even consider you for a second mortgage. This is, however, a wrong notion. There a lot of special lenders out there and also special conditions that would also make a lender offer you a second mortgage. This is usually possible especially in cases where you have sufficient equity in your existing mortgage. What this implies is that, with your sufficient equity, the lender is assured of getting his money back if you default in the payment.  Don't make the mistake of considering second mortgage as a loan, it is quite different from your original mortgage that is why it's usually tagged as a lien in your home. This means that if you breach your lending agreement. The foreclosure right still legally lies with the second mortgage lien holder even when you have paid off your first mortgage. 
