Second Mortgages
A second mortgage lets homeowners use their home's value to borrow more money. It's a separate loan on top of the first one and can be used for things like renovating the house or paying off debts.
You can borrow money based on your home's equity, using your home as loan security. Second mortgages often have higher interest rates than the first ones, and not paying the loan can lead to losing your home. Think carefully about the pros and cons of a second mortgage to see if it suits your financial situation.
